Fedora Core 5 Packages

Gaim 2.0.0 Beta 3

There are no official Fedora Core 5 packages for Gaim 2.0.0 beta3 (only for core 4 and below). The packages provided here are a simple rebuild of the src rpm ... but it seems to work perfectly.

gaim-2.0.0-0.beta3.i386.rpm
gaim-devel-2.0.0-0.beta3.i386.rpm

Epiphany Extensions

The epiphany-extensions package availables in the Extras repository lacks some essential extensions like AdBlock or Newsfeed Integration.

Here is a modified package for i386 which includes all the extensions. Please note that the dependencies have been changed : you need DBus and PCRE now ... but these packages should be installed on a typical desktop configuration anyway.

epiphany-extensions-2.14.0.1-2.i386.rpm
epiphany-extensions-2.14.0.1-2.src.rpm

gtkglextmm

gtkglextmm is a C++ wrapper for GtkGlExt, an OpenGL widget for GTK+. GtkGlExt is in the extras repository, but it is unfortunately not the case of this package.

gtkglextmm-1.2.0-2.i386.rpm
gtkglextmm-devel-1.2.0-2.i386.rpm
gtkglextmm-1.2.0-2.src.rpm
