People's mileage seems to vary on this, I didn't have any problems=20 with this version on 6.x either. But, in order to keep people happy,=20 I have added a legacy net/skype12 for 5.x and 6.x, plus some=20 additional instructions in UPDATING. Since Skype really wants us to=20 quit using this, it isn't available for 7.x and above. I have added=20 the resources flag to net/skype, in both the .desktop file and in=20 pkg-message and that should be used regardless on FreeBSD.=20 On another note the amd64 restriction will be removed from linux_dri=20 so those users can use skype, but I think I'll wait a couple more=20 days at least before I muddy the water further.=20 Beech =2D-=20 =2D------------------------------------------------------------------------= =2D------------- Beech Rintoul - Sys.
