I agree with the first point and disagree with the other four. This doesn't check out the latest version. It checks out a specific version from 2007 because broadcast was dropped from the plugin pack after that.

This package checks out latest version from a mercurial repository. So you need to change a few things:

  • Add mercurial to the makedepends,
  • rename the package to pidgin-broadcast-hg,
  • add a proper pkgver() function which ideally produces upstream software version and additionally current mercurial revision,
  • add provides=("pidgin-broadcast"); if pkgver() returns an upstream software version ideally do it in the form provides=("pidgin-broadcast=${pkgver}"),
  • add conflicts=("pidgin-broadvast").

Thanks for maintaining!
