OK. thanks. But what does this lpf-skype do? At 9.8K, it does not look like skype itself.

So it looks like this is NOT skype. I find the following description in the rpm:
Project URL : http://github.com/leamas/lpf
Bootstrap package allowing the lpf system to build the non-redistributable skype package.
The skype package is available only for i686 systems.
So if skype provides the rpm for download, looks like that is what you do.

Why not download Skype from their site..? Package for Fedora works fine.

As far as I know, there is no Skype RPM for F20. You have to go to the skype website and install their latest. Looking at my F20 machines, I have skype-4.0.0.11-fc16.i586 installed both.
Note that Skype is a 32-bit app, so you'll need some dual arch and compatibility stuff installed as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Physics is like sex ... it may give some practical results, but - - that's not why we do it. -- Richard Feynman ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, judging from the other responses, I stand corrected. There IS an F20 RPM for it. I'll be danged! It's still a 32-bit app, though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Never eat anything larger than your head - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

So what is all that lpf-skype cruft and it wanting to install things like lpf, fakeroot, rpm-build????, rpmdevtools? etc.

I am installing it on a i386 system.

I just did a google search for skype for Fedora 20 and got taken to a skype.com page that allows me to download an rpm for Fedora 16 (or that is what the dropdown says). And the rpm is:
skype-4.2.0.13-fc16
we will see how it goes. I am suppose to call a colleague tomorrow via skype.

If you care for regular automatic updates, Negativo17 hosts it on his repository, among other packages.
