D'oh, and just after 1.3.0.50 hit portage, sorry Gustavo! A couple of changes needed to bump the ebuild. First it's no longer a beta (yay!) and secondly it needs -generic appending to the tar.bz2 filename... MY_PN=${PN} SRC_URI="http://dev.gentoo.org/~humpback/skype-avatars-${AVATARV}.tgz !static? ( http://download.skype.com/linux/${MY_PN}-${PV}-generi c.tar.bz2 ) static? ( http://download.skype.com/linux/${MY_PN}_staticQT-${PV }-generic.tar.bz2 )" if use static; then unpack ${MY_PN}_staticQT-${PV}-generic.tar.bz2 else unpack ${MY_PN}-${PV}-generic.tar.bz2 fi
yes it was bad :) But i'm commiting this to portage and removing the older betas.
Works for me. I previously had Skype 1.3.0.50 working. Now, I put ~x86 keyword for Skype 1.3.0.53 into Portage and emerged without other modifications, and Skype 1.3.0.53 works fine. I did a test call out, it used microphone and headphone quite well. I played back voicemail greeting, and played a few set sounds. All worked. Hopefully someone currently using Skype without keywords will put in the keyword for this version and see how the upgrade goes; it has a bunch of changes since last time like ALSA, etc., right?? I might not notice problems now, since I've been following the betas up to this point.
