Bug#707182: RM: pidgin-facebookchat/1.69-2.1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: rm
Please remove pidgin-facebookchat from the Debian archives.
It has been abadoned by upstream nearly three years ago [1]
since Facebook has been implementing support for XMPP for
some time now and it is no longer necessary to have the plugin
installed in order to chat with Pidgin on Facebook.
Removing the package will also close a couple of bugs [2].
Cheers,
Adrian
