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. Unless, probably, this is something that installs a kernel module. > Also if you do not run something mission critical you can go for f7 and > experiment for yourself. > Last time when I checked linux-browsers and skype worked without > problems on amd64, fc6, compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 > So what stops you to experiment with latest things? :) Before I start, is it known that fc6 or f7 can work on 6.2 (not even RELENG_6) ? 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
