Actually, I just went to download gaim, but it appears it's not in
the catalog any more (stable or unstable). So another question, why
does it show up in the package list on the web site?

Excerpts from Chad Harp's message of Mon Mar 16 20:04:17 -0400 2009:
Is there a process for retiring packages? An example is CSWgaim.
I's been replaced by CSWpidgin and is no longer maintained (same
code, different name). Rather that letting it hang around I'd like
to remove it, otherwise package maintainers will have to keep
bundling old libraries to support it.
What about turning it into a dummy package that pulls in CSWpidgin
instead...? That would be more upgrade friendly, wouldn't it?
