You can easily get the vanilla Pidgin 2.0 .deb (installation file for Ubuntu Feisty).

The only thing i was missing badly were the plugins! I was really used to the libnotify and autoreply plugins. Anyway, so i’ve compiled a .deb here for the Purple Plugin Pack.

Edit: Thanks to Karthik, we have 64 bit debs for the plugin pack too!

Edit2: Some people are shamelessly copying this article and posting it on their blogs/sites. They were even hot linking to my .deb files. So now i am using box.net to distribute the deb files. Please do let me know if anyone faces issues with that 🙂

Edit3: Rapidshare link for 32 bit and 64 bit plugin pack added.

Edit4: Pidgin updated to v2.0.2.

Edit5: Plugin Pack updated to v2.0.0 for i386 architecture.
