| Notes from UPDATING |
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
- 2011-05-16
Affects: users of net/skype, net/skype-devel, net-im/skype, net-im/skype-devel Author: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@FreeBSD.org> Reason:
All skype ports were moved to net-im/:
- skype12: unchanged, very old version (for FreeBSD 6)
- skype20: last version with OSS support, that used to live in net/skype; the
DISTFILE is gone from the vendor but if you happen to have it, it would be a
way of having sound w/o needing to upgrade your base OS
- [RECOMMENDED] skype: currently at 2.1.0.81 and the best supported
- skype-devel: currently at 2.2.0.25, sounds is OK, video doesn't work
To run either skype or skype-devel with fully working sound you need:
- to run fc10 (most probably, please report what you can do with fc4):
(OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10,OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10
in /etc/make.conf for systems that doesn't have it as default)
- In order for Skype to work OK, you need your kernel and modules to be:
- post 2011-05-03 in on HEAD
- post 2011-05-08 in on 7,8-STABLE
The port tries to catch if your system version is too old, but there's a
~3months window where because of a lack of OSVERSION bump, this is not
possible. So please check; and PLEASE READ THE PKGMESSAGE for setup details.
For how to update your kernel/world, see:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
IF YOUR OSVERSION IS NOT NEW ENOUGH, SOUND (ESPECIALLY MIC) WON'T WORK.
If you run into problems, at very least we need to know the output of:
$ uname -a; sysctl compat.linux | head -2; \
grep OVERRIDE_LINUX_ /etc/make.conf; \
cat /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf
the skype version you are using and hardware details (eg. webcam, if related)
I most probably will ignore any mail not containing this info since without
it it's impossible to help.
Please test your sound /video setup outside skype before blaming skype /
mailing me.

2.2.0.25

Now that the skype ports are conflicting, don't install anything skype-devel.
This brings -devel closer to the main port, and of course, fixes install/plist.
