Pigin OpenSuse 11 Community Repositories
Pidgin has been complaining a lot lately when trying to connect, that it is very out of date under OpenSuse 11.3f, even though I have most of the community repos enabled.
I just found a dedicated repository for pidgin, that incluides the 11.x and factory versions...
Just add this to your repositories list through Yast:
