pidgin 3 and webkit ?

[Gary Kramlich]

Look, here's the deal, you can help or hinder us.  Your insistence on
telling us what to do is a hindrance.  If you want the source code of
release-2.x.y it's always available from bitbucket and you can download a
tarball from https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/get/release-2.x.y.tar.gz
