Bug Description

Hi

I would like to have backported lastest gaim, many people are installing it via 3rd party packages.

Since it's not clear when the final release will come I think it's a valuable add on.

Thanks

However, I'm sure doing this would lead to the need to recompile a few gaim extensions here and there. If someone can chase these dependencies down, that'd be great!

I'm putting this on my calendar... sometime next week I'd really like to talk to some developers about this, see if they have any "big picture" plans for how they're gonna deal with the beta stuff in main.

It seems like the developers have intention of maintaining these beta-shipped packages. As a result, I will not meddle in their work by adding backported flavors to the mix, especially in this case when a boatload of additional backports need to be built!
