That's exactly what I did for older skype port and everything worked very well for me. IMHO, as long as our linux emulation always emulates 32-bit Linux all ports that have only i386 in the allowed archs should also add amd64.

If there are any success stories, then I'll give it a try And if RELENG_6 is better in this respect than 6.2, then I'll wait for 6.3. > If you didn't get skype working on amd64 you can report this to the > maintainer, and ask him to make a legacy port skype12 or something like > this. This is my current situation, 1.4 doesn't work for me so far. -- Andriy Gapon
