Thanks, I will try; but I'm not sure Skype leaves the tarballs/packages in place on the servers when a new version comes out and this would need to be sorted out. Is an example of using autodl with tarballs also available? > You could then make this a package with the necessary extra requires (not sure > if the requires of the skype rpm are complete), and make it ExclusiveArch i686 > and x86_64. No, package requirements are missing entirely in Skype's official package; there are no dependencies at all. > You should then also drop in a /etc/profile.d file with the following in > there: > > alias skype='PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype' > > Otherwise audio won't work in F20+, the latter alone is worth doing a wrapper > package like this. Thanks for the hint, I will do. Does it make any harm on lower Fedora or RHEL distributions? I was also planning to submit the purple-skype plugin after the Skype review; do you think that could use that as the main "wrapper" package? Spec file and source rpm here: Spec URL: http://slaanesh.fedorapeople.org/purple-skype.spec The x86_64 build runs fine with an installed i686 package. I will update the Review Request when I will have something more to share; thanks everybody for inputs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
