He's talking about EL7 in which pidgin was left out - quite retardedly as libpurple is in fact included. Because Empathy ... Very enterprise focused, no doubt.

Has any repo - epel, maybe, built the messaging client pidgin for CentOS 7? My manager's been trying empathy, and tells me it's very much not
ready
for prime time.....
I'm not sure which repo I pulled it from, but I got it for c6.5
[root@nemesis ~]# yum list pidgin Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
- base: mirrors.einstein.yu.edu
- epel: mirror.cogentco.com
- extras: mirror.net.cen.ct.gov
- rpmforge: mirror.nexcess.net
- updates: mirrors.advancedhosters.com
Installed Packages pidgin.x86_64 2.7.9-27.el6 @updates
or on digging some more it looks as if it comes from 'updates', as near as I can tell.
