</I>>><i> Name : get-skype Relocations: (not relocatable)

</I>>><i> - remove noarch tag
</I>>><i> - add ExclusiveArch tag with value %{ix86}, Skype for Linux is
</I>>><i> currently 32-bit only and it needs 32-bit libraries
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> + sander85<sander85>
</I>>><i> - fix some typos
</I>><i> Skype is pretty popular nowdays. 64-bit systems are pretty popular too,

</I>><i> policy is the one that must be changed. For exeptions like Skype. Or we
</I>><i> need to add Nonfree 32 for 64-bit systems which makes a lot less sense
</I>><i> to me. Or you will start explaining to users again, why we don't have
</I>><i> Skype in our distro :(
</I>If you start explaining issues, maybe you could directly explain the
truth, aka:
- skype itself is not present, because its licensing prevent redistribution
- a skype installer is present, in a specific package section
- in order to install it, they may have to first configure a new urpmi media
Requesting policy exception just because 'life is otherwise too much
complex for our poor users base' isn't going to get much suffrage...
