Regola numero 1:
- Imparare dagli errori degli altri

Chi non ha imparato:
- Il team di Pidgin.

Il Caso:
- Dal changelog di slackware-current:

xap/pidgin-2.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Here's a little excerpt from: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/WhyPackagesExist "We have no developers using Slack, and furthermore, several of us actively dislike that distribution for its history of broken installs, as well as for its non-existant package management. You cannot create true packages for Slack." Well, I'm somewhat shocked by this, having never (to my knowledge) done anything to any of the former GAIM or Pidgin developers to make them mad at me, Slackware, or anyone on the Slackware team. I guess if they feel it's not possible to make a "true" Pidgin package for Slackware, there's no point in continuing to try. Having put out 7 security advisories on GAIM, I'm quite sure there will be less work here if Pidgin is not included.  The Pidgin package has been moved to the "unsupported" directory. For the record, I do not actively dislike Pidgin or any of their developers, but I do plan to use Kopete from now on.

Come si fa a essere così sfigati, lo sa appena quello che ha sminuito il lavoro altrui sulle pagine di un sito ufficiale...
