Just an FYI for you all:
I'll be uploading pidgin to GNOME:Community very soon, just beating the old gaim-unstable.spec to do what's required.
I'm splitting it, as per the project's guidelines and nomenclature, into libpurple[-devel], pidgin[-devel] and finch[-devel].
I'm deviating from their default by not splitting all the libpurple plugins into separate subpackages though - that's overkill IMHO.
Is it too late to get this into 10.3?

This is now in and I'm using it on Factory. I had to disable all the openSUSE patches of course[1] because all internal references to *gaim* have been removed/changed.
If someone has time to go through them and see if they're simple to fix, it would be a good thing. I don't have that time I'm afraid - already taken too much time away from my actual work with it :)

If we were able to get it in, replacing gaim it would be a good idea I think, given the legal issues that gaim apparently has (IANAL of course)
[1] Actually, most of them were removed when I created the gaim-unstable package because their functionality had been incorporated upstream. The major one is gnome-keyring support which, many of you will recall, wasn't working anyway in gaim-unstable ;)

Let me check: it are months to go before freeze. So why should it? :-)
