Status in Medibuntu: Fix Released Status in Medibuntu hardy series: Fix Released Status in Medibuntu intrepid series: Fix Released Status in Medibuntu jaunty series: Fix Released Status in Medibuntu karmic series: Fix Released Status in Medibuntu lucid series: Fix Released Bug description: It is a bit problematic to keep our skype packages, as skype-common conflicts with the package distributed on skype.com, and there's no easy way for us to avoid that (except by merging back skype-common in skype and skype-static, which is a bit painful). After some discussion on irc with a skype dev, I think the best proposition is to stop distributing them, as they are apparently going to provide i386 & amd64 & skype-static packages on skype.com. For the moment, I'm going to move them to -staging, and after packages are released on skype.com, drop them completely. =================================== STOP ASKING ABOUT BRINGING SKYPE BACK TO MEDIBUNTU. Skype is proprietary closed source software so Ubuntu developers can't modify it and don't have access to its source code. If you want something changed about Skype then you should ask the vendor of the Skype application, not Ubuntu. https://support.skype.com/en/support_selection If Skype's vendor wants to have its packages in Ubuntu then it is their responsibility to work on that, not Ubuntu's. Blaming Ubuntu or Medibuntu about not including Skype is just plain wrong. Please, DO NOT ADD any more comments about bringing Skype back. The decision has been made, period. Go ask Skype about it.
