Mageia forum

Is:

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154

the primary vehicle for discussion of Skype
on Mageia 2?

What is your question ?

I think Skype is on cauldron now, so it should be on mageia 2 in non free repo.
(I think it's also in mageia 1 now)

Bugzilla is not really a vehicle for discussion. What do you want to discuss, after all?

I don't see "Skype" anything in the Cauldron Repo.
I did a search on "Sk", still no Skype. Nor do I
see a "task-" something for Skype. Seems some
time ago Mandrake/Mandriva had an install for
Skype. Maybe I was able to download an RPM
from the Skype website.

There's a skype-2.2.0.35-fedora.i586.rpm on
the Skype website. I'll give that a try and
see if it works on my Cauldron test box.

is a long running discussion really concerning
the Skype License. Kinda left up in the air that
maybe something like the flash-player-plugin
can be built.

I'm coming out of the darkages and recently
purchased an Android Smartphone that does in
fact have a Skype app on it. I was just wondering
if Mageia had an RPM for it.

Thanks

Because package name it is get-skype and it is cauldron repo.

Nope, it leaves nothing up in the air, and often mentions the name of the final package.
Seems you only read the irrelevant-to-your-question first part of the bug report ...
Also seems you missed our MAQeia for Skype which has all the information:
viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1121

I'm wondering, why write all that documentation when nobody is reading it ...
