Please change:

To:

Otherwise mercurial repo download fails...

Is there a way to patch pidgin+libpurple to use webkit2gtk (gtk+3 already) rather than webkitgtk? Actually Arch considers webkit1 insecure, and deprecated:

The package builds well, but you need to remove lines 95 and 96. Apparently the files to be deleted aren't there any more.

I'm unable to compile this:

Someone has already logged a ticket for it, but it's 4 weeks old:

I can't clone the gplugin repository from do tipo hg from Bitbucket.org (and I created an account only for this)

Anyone wanting to use pidgin with Skype for Business needs to be running the latest dev versions of pidgin, pidgin-sipe and libnice from https://github.com/tieto .

However, you need to be careful when building pidgin-hg (after installing the tieto libnice) as it contains 2.x and 3.x (default) branches. You get a different branch when using this PKGBUILD depending on which was updated last. To force makepkg/hg to checkout the 'default', 3.x branch you need to change the source line to:

source=('pidgin::hg+https://hg.pidgin.im/pidgin/main#branch=default')

The default branch now works properly against python3, please update the dependencies on python2 and python2-* to use python and python-* instead.

Also webkitgtk3 has been renamed webkitgtk, and you have tk two times in makedepends.
