> the majority of bug reports we had for skype were about such issues... As I already pointed out, the proper solution would be to point upstream towards using /opt, as they should have done in the first place. Instead you brushed the problem under the carpet, and now nobody will have maintained software. Good going.
If you couldn't be bothered maintaining a package, you should have thrown out a feeler for someone else to take up the mantle, instead of dishing out an 'I don't like this, so tough luck' bug. > *You* want it back, not *everyone*.

The overwhelming majority of posts on this bug is comments from people who want Skype back in Medibuntu. Nor is 'many people' exactly a definitive breakdown of Skype distribution. > Or not. You're forgetting the 'free' component of the repository. Libdvdcss2 > is probably the most installed package from Medibuntu. I thought Medibuntu stood for "Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions In Ubuntu". At what point did it become 'Multimedia In Ubuntu'? Besides, there's already a script for installing libdvdcss in libdvdread, so if Medibuntu only exists for libdvdcss (a ridiculously tiny binary), then it's useless. Again, 'probably the most installed' isn't a definitive figure of anything. -- 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
