1. preserve the latest skype version that has OSS support as net-im/skype20
(but schedule it for removal soon)
2. update net-im/skype to 2.1.0.81.
- It supports sound and video, please read the pkg-message to find out how to
make it work.
- OPTIONify
Both ports are based on repocopy from net/skype.

patch from nox@ [2]
Create ${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR} before doing ${COPYTREE_SHARE}.
Without this step installing the port at 7.x has the effect:
-----
% ls -ld /usr/local/share/skype
drwx------ 6 root wheel 512 12 May 12:20 /usr/local/share/skype
% skype
/usr/local/bin/skype: /usr/local/share/skype/skype: Permission denied
-----
FreeBSD 8.x is not affected since it uses BSD cpio (at ${COPYTREE_SHARE})
which behaves as expected.
Note: packages are not affected, no PORTREVISION bump.

With new linux ports infrastructure introduction USE_GL=linux
is deprecated (it can't handle multiple linux base ports at a
ports tree). USE_LINUX_APPS should be used instead. Beware
that only fc4 (the default for all FreeBSD versions) and f8
is supported by new linux infrastructure (f10 is upcomming).

Welcome to the new linux ports infrastructure which allows using
both current (fc4) and future linux (f8) distributions at one
ports tree.
The patch contains full changes to ports/Mk files and all ports involved.
But only infrastructure is changed. The resulting packages are the same as
before. Hence no need to bump PORTREVISIONs.
The idea was taken from bsd.gnome.mk and others.
More than 130 ports are switched to follow a new linux infrastructure
introduced by changes to bsd.port.mk, bsd.linux-rpm.mk and a new
bsd.linux-apps.mk.
Thanks for all who was involved and helped me with this work.
And help from Alexander Leidinger was incredible.
Other changes are coming. Stay tuned!

- Update to 1.4.0.118
- Note: This update at the request of vendor as v1.2.0.18 is deprecated
and no longer available.
- Also Note: This version is known to work with amd64, but requires
linux_dri which is currently marked ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386

new freetype2 where needed.

- Update to 1.2.0.11.
- Don't print the "SOUND_MIXER_WRITE_IGAIN failed" messages. It's handled
differently than in the PR (which supresses all messages from skype).

Add WITH_NIVIDIA_GL switch to depend upon x11/nvidia-driver instead upon
graphics/linux_mesa3.
Requested by: Marius Nuennerich <marius.nuennerich@gmx.net>
Update to 1.1.0.13.
Note: I have problems with it, I see empty boxes instead of characters. But
since several people reported success, and some people (except me) got it
working after removing ~/.qt*, I commit it anyway.
Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
- The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Let skype know where the resources are located:
- allows to use the sound files
- enables the use of skype in your locale (if an translation is available)
Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.
It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).
This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).
Changes:
- change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
- add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
- don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some

- Update to 0.90.0.14.
This version has some fixes for FreeBSD, you shouldn't need to
apply a kernel patch to use it.
- Let 'make' transform the version number for the distfile.
- It's for i386 only (needs to be revisited if the 32bit layer of amd64
gains a linux emu). [1]
- Install an icon to the correct place in the GNOME case.
This also closes a PR with a version update.

If you get a login failure at registration time the user name may be
already in use (but there's another bug here, the name may even be
available).
Don't expect to hear something yet, sound doesn't work on FreeBSD yet.
I'm working with the skype staff on it.

Skype is a free program that uses the latest P2P technology to bring
affordable and high-quality voice communications to people all over
the world.
This port needs linux_base-8, the default linux_base is v7.1. You should
first replace the default linux_base with v8 with portupgrade:
portupgrade -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base
Then edit /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, add the line
emulators/linux_base' => 'emulators/linux_base-8',
into "ALT_PKGDEP". This tells portupgrade to depend upon linux_base-8
instead upon linux_base-7.1 (where appropriate).
This replacement shouldn't do any harm, I tested icc and the linux version
of netscape navigator 4.8 with the new linux_base, and I haven't noticed
bad behavior.
