[Bug 494564] Re: Move to -staging/remove skype packages

 

I agree with comments above, in that:
1. installing a package from a repository and then having automatic updates and installed dependencies is more convenient than browsing vendor sites hoping for the updated package.

2. the conflict between repository and official packages is _not_ a
major reason to discontinue a repository. We may just put a notice
alerting that the official packages are not compatible with medibuntu
repository. I've never had problems with that... maybe just renaming the
repository packages does help?

My honest opinion is that Skype should remain in the repository until
Skype guys provide a repository themselves... having just separate
packages does not speak well with Ubuntu style of package management.
