Title: Software Request: Skype Post by: kaldor on March 25, 2009, 01:36:50 PM Description: Instant Messenger, focusing on video and calling.
URL: www.skype.com License: Freeware? (with some optional paid features, such as making a call to a phone from your PC) I'd love to see Skype in the repos :) Title: Re: Software Request: Skype Post by: brotherinbluejeans on March 26, 2009, 12:45:24 AM evidently the slackbuild of skype works pretty well in wolvix: (see thread) (http://forums.wolvix.org/index.php/topic,1079.0.html) but yes, it would be nice to have it in the repo.
Title: Re: Software Request: Skype Post by: Wolven on March 26, 2009, 12:49:16 AM I'll get on making a package for Skype. It should defiantly be in the repo, or I won't hear the end of it. :P
EDIT: A package for Skype is now in the repo. It's the static build, so you won't need to install Qt. Title: Re: Software Request: Skype Post by: kaldor on March 26, 2009, 02:19:22 AM Awesome, great job!
Finally; a developer who seems to understand the users. I have dealt with developers before who totally trashed their projects simply because they refuse to meet the demands of the community. I think that Wolvix has the potential to become a well-known distro, especially when packages like these are included :) Title: Re: Software Request: Skype Post by: Wolven on March 26, 2009, 03:15:38 AM Well I do try to listen to what you all want, and put my ego aside. I see no reason why I shouldn't include Skype. It's an easy package to make and it's a well known and popular application. I don't use Skype myself, but then again I don't use most of the software in Wolvix, as most of my computing time is used on making the distro. :)
Title: Re: Software Request: Skype Post by: I_byte on April 03, 2009, 01:53:55 AM Skype is awesome. Computer to computer is free, 2.5 cents per min anywhere else (your computer to a land line).
I use it quite a lot, especially when travelling (with my little netbook). Thanks for adding it. Title: Re: Software Request: Skype Post by: skinnie on October 17, 2009, 04:44:09 PM I am new to wolvix,I only used ubuntu...
Can I use skype packages that are for slack 13 on wolvix 1.1.0 (based on slack 11 right?)? |
