Programmed removal of Skype packages

Written for Medibuntu by Lionel Le Folgoc on 2009-12-09

Skype packages (skype, skype-common, skype-static and skype-static-oss) are scheduled for removal.

For the moment, they are still available, although they have been moved temporarily on our staging areas (hardy-staging, intrepid-staging, jaunty-staging and karmic-staging). As soon as new deb packages are available on <http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/> (according to skype developers, in a few days), they will be removed from our repository.

Users who want to install skype are now advised to use directly the packages available on Skype's website.

For more information, please refer to the bug report tracking this issue <https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/494564>.
