Description-en: Skype plugin for libpurple messengers (debug symbols)
This protocol plugin allows libpurple to communicate with Skype.
Applications using libpurple (Pidgin, Finch, Empathy/Telepathy,
etc.) can thus show your Skype contacts alongside those from
other protocols, and you can communicate with them using that
application instead of the Skype user interface.
.
This plugin communicates with the Skype application in the
background to perform its work, so it's necessary to have Skype
installed and running.
This product uses the Skype API but is not endorsed, certified
or otherwise approved in any way by Skype.
.
This package contains debug symbols for pidgin-skype.
