Skype 2.0-oss (video) is a work in progress. I have the beta and it will become skype-devel as soon as I get clearance from Skype. 2.0 requires 2.6.16 as does our current version (1.4.0.118) on amd64. On another note, skype-1.4.0.118 also requires linux_dri on amd64 as will the new version. I see that it's flagged only_for_archs= i386. I have verified (so has skype) that it works fine on FreeBSD amd64. Can we unflag linux_dri so we're not excluding those users?
