Hello
When I try to get with , I can't find it ; but with it works fine.
Is there an explanation for this difference ?
May be I have to change the file /etc/slapt-get/slapt-srcrc ?
Have a nice day.

skype is not open source application, so it is not in salix repos. There is a SLKBUILD for skype here. http://people.salixos.org/djemos/skype/SLKBUILD
with fakeroot slkbuild -X can build latest version of skype.

That's because gslapt and sourcery are not the same:
* gslapt accesses our repository with pre-built binary packages
* sourcery accesses repositories with package build scripts

Search our wiki for more infos.

You can just download the static version of the skype. Unpack and launch.
