FunPidgin patch for Debian’s Pidgin Package

This is a quick patch I whipped up to bring funpidgin to debian’s pidgin.  Applying is pretty simple:

apt-get build-dep pidgin && apt-get source pidgin

cd pidgin-2.4.1

wget http://www.deftly.net/25_fun_pidgin.patch -O debian/patches/25_fun_pidgin.patch

./debian/rules binary

dpkg -i ../*.deb

Just make sure you remove the previous version of pidgin prior to installing the patched version - just for good measure

Chromium for Debian

Being board is no fun… It can only lead to masturbation, evil deeds, or punching babies. Games are for sure a good way to prevent masturbation/ED’s/punching babies. Sadly, Debian Etch does not have Chromium, one of the better SDL games available….. So after a short sobbing period .. I decided to do something about it! Here are some packages I built from sid.

chromium_0.9.12-13_i386.deb
chromium-data_0.9.12-3_all.deb

Just download them and run :
dpkg -i *.deb

Cheers,
Qbit
