 The skype port has been upgraded to version 1.4.0.118. This requires a 
 sysctl change to run. 
 
 After upgrading, please do "sysctlcompat.linux.osrelease=2.6" from a 
 terminal. Also add: "compat.linux.osrelease=2.6" to 
 your /etc/sysctl.conf  to make this change at boot time. 
 
 Also, net/skype-devel has  been removed from the ports tree. All skype 
 users are encouraged to update to the latest version.
