 Hello:

 My user name is YvesBellefeuille.

 I'd like to edit the information on using Skype under CentOS 6 at
 http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype .

 Could you and John Fettig have a talk please? As he requested the same
 thing on July 20th (see the archives of this list). You might want to
 cooperate on that :)

I believe our edits are mostly orthogonal, as I wanted to edit (and
have now edited) the directions for CentOS-5 and he wants to edit
CentOS-6.

 You can change that yourself.

Of course, now that I've changed it, skype moved or remove the tarball
that I referenced.  I have a copy of it and could upload it someplace,
but I'm guessing the skype license doesn't allow redistribution.  So
maybe another edit is required.

Actually that was incorrect.  I just had a typo in the link.  It still works.

[CentOS-docs] Proposed change to HowTos/Skype

2011-07-20 Thread John Fettig
In the section for CentOS-5, it would be nice if the following
alternative method for running Skype on CentOS-5 were presented:

You can download a statically linked version of Skype which will work
in CentOS-5 from
http://download.skype.com/linux/skype_static-2.1.047.tar.bz2

I think it's a little bit silly that the first recommendation for
running skype on CentOS-5 is to install a new version of libstdc++!
Hopefully the version I've linked to will remain available directly
through skype's homepage, and if not, some public mirror will arise.

If you want me to change this directly, my login is JohnFettig.  I
would be happy if e.g. Akemi Yagi (amy...@gmail.com) would add this
info.
