Hello,
as you may check there as been an high demand of Pidgin 2.0.0 for Ubuntu:
http://www.getdeb.net/graphs/release.php?id=817
I would appreciate if you could host or link the .deb install packages for
Ubuntu from the download link.
You can grab both 32 bits and 64 bits versions here:
http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Pidgin
Please note that both libpurple and piding are provided on a single .deb,
this is not the proper way to package according go the Debian/Ubuntu package
guidelines but it is far more easier for the users to install (when not
using a repository).
This should not be a problem on upgrades from official packages since we are
using ~getdeb as the version prefix which is identifed as "lower" and
upgradeable to the official packages.
