Gaim 2.0 beta – packages for Ubuntu Breezy

If you’d like to try out Gaim 2.0 beta 1, but don’t feel like compiling from source, I might be able to help out.

I whipped up packages this morning with CheckInstall for Ubuntu Breezy, and they seem to be fine. Be sure to back up your .gaim directory before running the beta!. I have seen no problems with Gaim 2.0 beta, but it’s best to be safe. The traditional beta software warning applies — this is not a final release, and it may crash, eat your data, drink all the milk, leave the toilet seat up, and otherwise do crazy and unpredictable things.

Okay, now that that’s out of the way, you can download the i386 or amd64 packages and test it out.

Enjoy. Feel free to say “hi” if you’re online. I can be found online as xonker on Google Talk, zonker on jabber.org, and zonkerjoe on AIM.

    Hello,

    Thank you ever so much for the package, worked a treat, no problems on the install. It’s so nice when things just work the way they should do under Linux.

    Best Wishes
