Thank you for this note as I would probably have missed this.
I will test this on a VM until it leaves "alpha" status.

One little note: I don't think it's supposed to be possible to inst= all both at
the same time. But it is currently possible.

I actually do it that way on purpose.

I think it's because skype is not slotted and the dependency line in th= e
ebuild specifies slot "1"=C2=A0 for skype.
<= br>
By design.=C2=A0 I removed the slotting after splitting the p= ackage.

And I made this announcement becuase I'= ;m the current proxy maintainer for both packages.=C2=A0
