Post veloce veloce per segnalare che ho aggiunto al pacchetto conky il supporto alla rete wlan (x visualizzarne le informazioni) e quello agli rssfeed ^^

Naturalemente se avete abilitato i miei repository vi verrà chiesto di aggiornarlo

RISOLTO!

Grazie al suggerimento di echeleon ho trovato il modo di sistemare definitivamente il pacchetto. Non mi ero infatti accorto della differenza fra la versione 1:2.2.1 (ubuntu) e la mia 2.3.1 che ho appurtunamente modificato in 1:2.3.1-1~algatux1

Ora i i repository sono aggiornati, se li avete attivi ve ne sarete certamente accorti ^^

Buoni messaggini a tutti

Ho risolto parzialmente i problemi con pidgin. In parole povere ho disponibili un macro pacchetto contenente tutto il necessario e un mini pacchetto “doc”.

Li trovate qui:

pidgin_2.3.1_i386.deb
pidgin-doc_2.3.1_all.deb

Per installarli vi basterà scaricarli ed eseguirli.

Chi avesse già installato pidgin (versioni precedenti) deve prima disinstallarlo completamente con questo comando:

$ sudo apt-get remove –purge pidgin pidgin-data libpurple0

All’inizio ho scritto di aver parzialmente risolto i problemi di pacchettizzazione perche in questo modo il sistema (non capisco il motivo) vede le vechcie versioni come nuove, infatti l’update manager rende disponibili aggiornamenti per pidgin che in realtà sono delle regressioni.

Spero di riuscire presto a risolvere anche questo “problemino”

Grazie alla segnalazione di quarion, al quale vanno i miei saluti, sono venuto a conoscenza dell’ultimo fix alla libreria libpurple per pidgin.

changelog ufficiale:

• libpurple
  • Fixed a number of MSN bugs introduced in 2.3.0, resolving problems connecting to MSN and random local display name changes
  • Going idle on MySpaceIM will no longer clear your status and message.
  • Idle MySpaceIM buddies should now appear online at login.
  • Fixed crashes in XMPP when discovering a client’s capabilities
  • Don’t set the current tune title if it’s NULL (XMPP/Google Talk)
  • Don’t allow buddies to be manually added to Bonjour
  • Don’t advertise IPv6 on Bonjour because we don’t support it
  • Compile fixes for FreeBSD and Solaris
  • Update QQ client version so some accounts can connect again
  • Do not allow ISON requests to stack in IRC, preventing flooding IRC servers when temporary network outages are restored
  • Plug several leaks in the perl plugin loader
  • Prevent autoaccept plugin overwriting existing files

in poche parole sono stati fixati alcuni bug importanti tra cui i problemi di connessione ad MSN e un secondo stranissimo (ma non meno importante) bug che implicava lutilizzo di un nik a caso preso fra i proprio contatti.

Personalmente mi èp capitato di sentirmi dire: “Ma mi stai prendendo per il culo? cambia quel nik! (del proprietario)”

oppure

“Ale ma che cavolo di nik hai? non sarai mica passato all’altra sponda ^^”

Appena possibile aggiorno i repo ^^

E’ disponibile nei miei repo la versione aggiornata di pidgin!

Edit!
Alcuni utenti hanno sperimentato diversi problemi con la connesisone ad account MSN, pertanto non ne consiglio l’uso fino alla risoluzione del problema.

Ecco il changelog ufficiale (non mi metto a tradurlo perche è una cosa lunga ^^)

• libpurple
  • Real usernames are now shown in the system log.
  • We now honor a PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED define to allow plugins to catch deprecated functions earlier rather than later.
  • Thanks to a patch from Intel, the Bonjour prpl now supports file transfers using XEP-0096 and XEP-0065. This should enable file transfers between libpurple clients and Gajim clients, but will not work with iChat or Adium as they use a different file transfer implementation.
  • XMPP password changes that return errors no longer cause the saved password to be changed.
  • XMPP file transfer support has been enhanced to support sending files through a proxy when the server supports discovering a a bytestream proxy. This should make file transfers much more reliable. The next release will add support for manually specifying a proxy when the server doesn’t advertise one.
• Pidgin
  • If a plugin says it can’t be unloaded, we now display an error and remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won’t load at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which could lead to crashes.
  • Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy list, rather than as buttons in the buddy list and with dialog boxes. If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere, you can now re-enable them all with a single click.
  • Added tooltips to the Room List window to show full topics
  • Added buttons in preferences to access GNOME network and browser preferences configuration dialogs when running under GNOME
  • If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the same contact.
  • A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we know she is listening to some soothing music.
  • Added a ‘Move to’ menu in buddy list context menu for moving buddies to other groups as an alternative to dragging.
  • Group headings are now marked via an underline instead of a different color background.
  • It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as “Persistent” so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed.
  • The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the “Add Chat” dialog along with the new persistence option.
  • Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation. It will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation resumes, the history will be retained. A preference has been added to toggle this behavior.
  • The “Smiley” menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar.
  • Pidgin’s display is now saved with the command line for session restoration. (David Mohr)
  • ICQ Birthday notifications are shown as buddy list emblems.
  • Plugin actions are now available from the docklet context menu in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list.
  • The manual page has been heavily rewritten to bring it in line with current functionality.
• Finch
  • If a plugin says it can’t be unloaded, we now display an error and remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won’t load at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which could lead to crashes.
  • It’s possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows. Read the ‘Menus’ section in the man-page for details.
  • ‘transpose-chars’ operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding is ctrl+t.
  • ‘yank’ operation for the entry boxes. The default binding is ctrl+y
