NoobAlice [1] filed a request to merge skype4pidgin-git [2] into purple-skypeweb-git [3]: skype4pidgin is the old, dead original plugin by Eion Robb. It was replaced by purple-skypeweb by Eion Robb. See Eion Robb's Readme for skype4pidgin: https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/blob/master/README.md [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/NoobAlice/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/skype4pidgin-git/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/purple-skypeweb-git/
