Just did an apt-get -b source gaim, and it works really nicely, gaim has
improved a lot since the 0.5 branch. , i just tried a chat with
myself (you can add yourself as a contact ^^), and i was able to talk in
japanese, french. Thank you very much for this package ! I'll try it as
soon as tomorrow with some friends using icq on win32, to test the i18n
features.
But well, the package doesn't seems to have problems, all my
configuration was there, all buddies too. I didn't had any warning at
the package compilation, and none at the package upgrade.
Note that i'm using Sarge, with gnome2 from Sid.
Please note i'm only having the gaim package, not the gaim-gnome, it
wasn't created. But i think it's because of the Tray Icon plugin. Didn't
tried it, i haven't the system-tray-applet installed. Maybe a Replaces:
gaim-gnome in the package could be interesting to automatically remove
the old package (which is no longer needed.)
