+The problem in this case is: pino isn't working anymore with the newer
+libraries included in Mageia.
+It can't be built against those libraries and with no upstream to fix
+that, one of our packagers would have to take over the de facto
+development.
+Also there are alternatives in the repo, aren't there?

+gwibber is in the repos, about others I don't know. I don't use that
+stuff. But you can always file a rpm request on our bugzilla.
