HOWTO: Install Pidgin 2.0.0 on Ubuntu Feisty (with all plugins)

[kalpik]

You can get the vanilla Pidgin 2.0 .deb (installation file for Ubuntu Feisty) here (http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Pidgin).
The only thing i was missing badly were the plugins! I was really used to the libnotify and autoreply plugins. Anyway, so i’ve compiled a .deb here for ALL plugins imaginable for Pidgin 2.0.0.

@gx: No.. The files i've provided are only for Ubuntu Feisty. You will have to compile them yourself for windows. I've just done it for linux. Follow here to do it yourself: http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/wiki/PluginPack
