purple-googlechat now imported on Cauldron and replaces no more maintained purple-hangouts.

Thanks katnatek for the information, and DavidG for doing the thing for Cauldron.
Unsure for M8: would it have to be in backports? Does it matter enough to do that?

We have more reports if was so :( , if mageia not make package for mga 8 i'll keep the package in blodrake's repository for mageia 8
Comment 5 Lewis Smith 2023-04-09 21:13:59 CEST
Mageia 8 users have the old 'purple-hangouts' for this functionality, unmaintained though it may be. Presumably it works for most people.
I think we can close this fixed for M9, and re-open if necessary for M8.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
