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

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

Just noticed that the same guy dos the facebook plug-in for bitlbee, so you Ubuntu users can get that there 
as well with 
sudo apt-get install bitlbee-facebook
I also forgot to remind people to change the 14.04 to 12.04, 15.04 or what ever their release is  or what 
ever it's based on in the echo command for 
enabling the repo.
