Has been building out-of-the-box for me, but spent a few hours backporting SUSE patches and enabling
all features, proper dependencies, fall back nicely with mozilla/mozilla-devel (on 9.3) instead of
mozilla-nss/mozilla-nss-devel (on 10.0), dbus support for the 10.0 package, etc...

Done, contains all plugins and all features (as far as dependencies are available on older SUSE
versions), except the voice+video thing, will have to package SILC first (*puke*)
I've also backported (or rather "foreported" ;)) all the patches that were in SUSE 10.0's
gaim.src.rpm, at least those that were not integrated by upstream. Had to rewrite a few of them
because of source code changes in gaim 2.0.0.
Here are the RPMs:
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/experimental/gaim/
All the packages will be there as soon as Eberhard triggers the next sync on gwdg.de
I've only built for 10.0 and 9.3 (both on i686 and x86_64) as of now, and generated rpm-md (yum)
metadata only, using the following URL for the repository:
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/experimental/
Seems stable to me, at least until now, only been using it since a couple of hours (and only with
Jabber accounts).
BTW, I think I'm the entitled gaim packager, just had a look at my first %changelog entry in my
gaim.spec (even if I rewrote it from scratch for 2.0.0-beta1):
