Whilst the Skype port still works, the version of Skype referenced by the port is no longer available and later versions of Skype do not (currently) work on FreeBSD. My reading of the Skype license suggests that the FreeBSD Project cannot host the distfile without an agreement with Skype. This means that someone who doesn't currently have the Skype distfile cannot install the Skype port. I believe work is underway to support the currently available version of Skype. --=20 Peter Jeremy --A9z/3b/E4MkkD+7G Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk22EdwACgkQ/opHv/APuIdcdQCgjKlhPrWnNl9Pjxly4T7KyI4r lGsAoKnfLr4LpDvsPIqm7ShToOe4QPRL =4OXR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --A9z/3b/E4MkkD+7G--
