Como actualizar a Pidgin 2.6.1 en Jolicloud.
Last week Pidgin 2.6.0 (and later 2.6.1) got finally released. It has a couple of nice goodies like audio&video support for XMPP and theming support, but the truth is, I was waiting for this update because they fixed the ability to save and use animated emoticons. 
Upgrading Pidgin to the new version in a standard Ubuntu installation is quite easy, just follow the instructions detailed here and update. However, it won’t work in Jolicloud unless you make a small change to the second command to make the repository believe we are using Ubuntu Jaunty:
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ `lsb_release --short --codename` main | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list
Replace the bold text with “jaunty”, without quotes, so the whole thing ends up as
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ jaunty main | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.
Copy and paste both commands on a terminal and upgrade. That’s all.
