Agreed with the sentiments above. Getting people into the windowsesk click monkey routine of visiting a software vendor's site (and potentially misspelling the url) to manually download and install packages creates opportunities to infect users machines with rootkits and all other kinds of nasties. And generally promoting old/stale/insecure software.
If the Skype devs would prefer users getting the software directly from them, the very least they could do is create their own properly maintained software repository. But I'm generally against that idea for the first reason I gave in the previous sentence. -- Move to -staging/remove skype packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494564 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Medibuntu Packaging Team, which is the registrant for Medibuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
