Feature changed by: Holger Dyroff (Escubar) Feature #307813, revision 2 Title: Include skype on opensuse 11.3X openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important + Info Provider: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Requested by: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Description: Include skype on a opensuse 11.3X Non-oss section (if correct) Sourced skype binary from http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/ Additional information from http://en.opensuse.org/Skype Please ensure skype installs in a opensuse 64 bit (x86_64) installation as well - From the link - it includes the following: You will need at least these packages before installing Skype. - install libqt4 libqt4-x11 libqt4-dbus-1 libsigc++2 - If you are running on a 64-bit platform, you will also need the *-32bit RPM packages, since Skype is a 32-bit application. install libqt4-32bit libqt4-dbus-1-32bit libqt4-x11- 32bit libsigc++2-32bit Thankyou Glenn + Discussion: + #1: Holger Dyroff (escubar) (2009-09-24 14:42:23) + The challenge is the legal structure of this. Novell has not been able + to aquire fair redistribution rights from Skype in the past. We tried + several times, but till now the feedback was that Skype must be the + exclusive VoIP solution in order for this to happen. When Skype is + under new ownership we will try again but my hope is not high. We do + not want to distribute Skype if this means to exclude all other open + source implementations who do any form of VoIP. + Have you looked at the license, do you see any change here from the + past? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307813
