Network Security Toolkit (NST) Patch: U200703101

Patch Summary: Installs Skype (v1.3.0.53) onto NST system.

Patch Release Specifications:

Patch Revision History:

2007-03-11 (v1.0.1)

Now removes the skype-1.3.0.53.tar.bz2 file after it is no longer needed (prior version left it on the system).

2007-03-10 (v1.0.0)

This update will download the binary distribution for the Skype instant messenger and VOIP tool. Installing this package will cause the NST system to download a large package (14MB+) - you will need to be patient if you install this update using the NST WUI (you won't see anything for a long time). The Skype package will be installed under the "/var/nst/opt" directory. A symbolic link will be added such that one should be able to use: "/usr/bin/skype" to launch the application. Unfortunately, we don't have a good mechanism for automating the updating of the fluxbox menu system yet (you'll need to edit $HOME/.fluxbox/menu by hand).
