Hi there, if you want those packages added, please submit a package request for those, after searching if that hasn't been reported already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_repor ... ge_request

For skype, we have get-skype (which would currently require an update, but they do not offer the tarball anymore, see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21053
On some systems, there are also problems with the newer version, check https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21538 )
pdftk has been removed from our repositories as it is dead upstream and it does no longer build.
For tlp there are already package requests, feel free to follow those: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21542

Just added TLP (OpenSUSE tlp-1.0-1.1.noarch.rpm) to Mageia6 on my netbook.
Battery life with 60% juice still went from 2:15h with an active desktop (Palemoon browser with ~15 tabs) to 2:50h. Men that was an easy +26% battery life :D
Note this is on an eight years old netbook with Intel Atom 2nd Gen. and GMA 950. Newer AMD or Intel CPUs have (much) deeper "sleep steps" aka energy saving states.

How can we go about seeing packages not being added here?

Since days ago I fount pdftk-java. Please see https://packages.debian.org/de/sid/pdftk-java and https://gitlab.com/pdftk-java/pdftk
With alien I built my rpm package from the debian package very quickly on Mageia 6. Some tests show me, all works properly. But I had to install apache-commons-lang3 manually.
