Hi, Empathy can use libpurple as backend for the protocols which don't have yet a telepathy backend. I for one am glad to see empathy get more attention as it seems highly promising. I would not push for use it in a LTS relese as is but intrepid is not. Anyway, it will probably not satisfy everyone right now: * pidgin and other clients will still be available for people who dislike it. Someone who can't install pidgin aftewards should clearly not test intrepid so early... * pushing it forward in the preview releases doesn't mean that it will be default in the final release Best regards -- Aurélien Naldi -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
