Today i’ve finished my small Shellscript for installing Skype in Plasma Active. Its tested with the Plasma Active Mer Image (i686). But it should work in other architectures too.

What does the Script?

It downloads the latest Skype Version (dynamic package) and tries to find a already installed Version of Skype. To do that it searches in the RPM-Database and also in /usr/share/skype. Then it removes the old ones, and installs the new (the downloaded) version.

The script places the files on the same place like the RPM package does it. So it should be compatible.

While my tests i haven’t found any troublemakers. So please, if you find anything, just drop me a note: saigkill@open-slx.com.

So have fun with it 🙂

Aah.Forgotten to say where. Just type in your Plasma Active Device:

curl –output skype-installer http://saigkill.homelinux.net/pub/skype-installer

Then a chmod +x skype-installer and you can run it with ./skype-installer

If you like the script, you can anything 🙂
