Thank you for the hint, but I admit that having followed up the 2.14.0 & 2.14.1 announcements, there is little to justify updating this for Mageia 7. I imagine we should have it for the emerging Mageia 8, to be nominally up-to-date. They talk of a future Pidgin 3. The SRPM has various maintainers, so assigning globally; CC'ing Shlomi as the registered person. Source RPM:

Backports This would be a backport of course. 2.14.0 announcement: https://pidgin.im/posts/2020-06-2.14.0-released/ Hi, Thanks for requesting a backport to Mageia 7 for packages updated in Cauldron. According to our current backports policy: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Backports_policy - Package maintainers are under no obligation to provide backports for the packages they maintain (whereas a maintainer should provide updates to the stable releases for packages he/she maintains). - Another packager can step in and provide backports provided he contacts maintainer about this. He must then keep the maintainer informed when working on it. - The maintainer can refuse that some packages be backported. If hard conflicts arise (eg. the maintainer vs all other packagers), we can refer to the council. - Packager (maintainer or not) who will submit backport will also have to provide security and bug updates if necessary. Packager/Maintainer: If you are working on this backport request, please change status to "Assigned". Feel free to Close this if you think it is against current Backports policy. Reporter: Your request is under investigations. In the meantime, we suggest look for Appimage or Flatpak version of this. available in backports_testing. just the console app is missing for the moment. I will see in a second step to fix this ( but this won't prevent tests :) ) Assignee:
