Package: pidgin-plugin-pack
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: normal
The Irssi plugin will message "Happy New Year" to all of your contacts on
January 1st. It does not prompt to do this. John Bailey states this
functionality was deliberate (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11070) but
it is undocumented, cannot be disabled and seems like negative behavior.
The issue seems isolated to irssi_datechange_timeout_cb() in datechange.c ;
the included patch should remove this functionality.
