[orca-list] Facebook for Pidgin, serious bug in last update and repo for Ubuntu and friends

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

A few weeks ago we were talking about the relatively new purple-facebook plug-in for pidgin. It was working 
well for me the few times I fired it up, but 
an update from a day or two ago has several bugs it appears. 
I doubt any of these have to do with orca, ut be advidsed contacts are not appearing now although I hear 
people coming on line. Also old conversations 
are being repopened every few minutes. I think that perhaps it is reconnecting, or they just broke what ever 
code polls FB's api with this last update.
Anyway, for those who use Ubuntu and friends here are some instructions for adding a repo that has latest 
release of purple-facebook so you do not have 
to build from source.
I wish I'd saved my old version, if you have this running you may not want to update till you get a heads up 
that the bugs are fixed.

sudo echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jgeboski/xUbuntu_14.04/ /" >> 
sources.list.d/fb-purple.list
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jgeboski/xUbuntu_$(lsb_release -rs)/Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install purple-facebook
