set version to cauldron, because package requests will usually be done for cauldron first and then be available in next stable release

Version: 1 => Cauldron
Source RPM: (none) => msn-pecan

Hi,
msn-pecan is an improved MSN plug-in for libpurple; support includes Pidgin, Adium, telepathy-haze, and Nokia N900 (using haze). 

It's easy to setup.

Features

Compared to libpurple's stock plug-in: 
Faster log-in 
Fewer crashes 
Fewer connection issues 
Support for direct file transfers 
Support for winks (animoticons) (view-only) (Pidgin) 
Support for Plus! sounds (receive-only) 
Option to hide Plus! tags 


Other features (which the stock plug-in also has): 
No timeout issues 
Server-side storage for display names (private alias) 
Support for personal status messages 
Support for offline messaging 
Send custom emoticons (Pidgin >= 2.5) 
Support for handwritten messages (read-only) 
Support for voice clips (receive-only)
The site is here at http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/


There is on mandriva repositories. Thus, if we can use on mageia by using this code:

urpmi http://mirror.yandex.ru/mandriva/official/2010.2/i586/media/contrib/backports/pidgin-msn-pecan-0.1.3-1mdv2010.2.i586.rpm
So, I would like to suggest to add the msn pecan to the mageia 2 repositories now.
Cheers.

Thanks for giving the link to Mandriva, I wasn't aware the package was in Mdv2010.2 contrib release because I checked for msn-pecan instead of for pidgin-msn-pecan.

So if someone finds time to package it, it is even valid to import in for Mageia1

I submitted these package now:

1 minute ago 	shlomif 	pidgin-msn-pecan-0.1.3-3.mga2 	cauldron 	core/release 		partial	
2 minutes ago 	shlomif 	pidgin-msn-pecan-0.1.3-2.mga1 	1 	core/updates_testing 		uploaded	2 minutes

They are straightforward ports of the Mandriva Cooker package, only with tabs converted to spaces.

Please test.

Thanks a lot :)

Next time, it is OK if you do what I do now:

* set version to "1" and 
* re-assign to qa-bugs@ml.mageia.org
* give an Advisory:  

This update adds pidgin-msn-pecan that was present in
Mandriva 2010.2, but missing from Mageia 1.

Version: Cauldron => 1
Assignee: bugsquad => qa-bugs
Whiteboard: Mdv => Mdv, cauldron

Testing complete on i586 for the srpm
pidgin-msn-pecan-0.1.3-2.mga1.src.rpm

I disabled my msn account and added a wlm account.  Works fine.

otto, maybe you can test it since you have make the priority to High ?

Tested HTML method over proxy on x86_64. Seems to work fine, at least better than the old plugin. Tho' it probably needs testing with non-HTML method too.

As it's working for Sander on x86-64, and for me on i586, I'll go ahead
and validate this update.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
pidgin-msn-pecan-0.1.3-2.mga1.src.rpm
freom Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.

Advisory: This update adds pidgin-msn-pecan that was present in
Mandriva 2010.2, but missing from Mageia 1.
