I'm afraid I must orphan this package as I stopped using it a long time ago, and it is no longer working due to circumstances beyond my control.

I'm getting an error launching ghetto-skype recently: App threw an error during load TypeError: app.makeSingleInstance is not a function [...]

Could it have something to do with recent updates to electron? Anyone else encountering this?

Version 1.6.0 fails to start even in a clean VM, and I can't figure out why. I have opened an issue on Github (https://github.com/stanfieldr/ghetto-skype/issues/154) and we are stuck on 1.5.0 until a resolution is reached.

I am unflagging the package as I have done all I can thus far and will get the new version pushed as soon as I am confident it won't break everyone's experience.

@Turtizzle Thank you for flagging the package out of date. It seems there is a problem with version 1.6.0 as I could get it to build, but it won't start. When I have time this weekend I will figure it out and update the package.

many thanks! I had a lot of problems with skypeforlinux on my laptop, but with this package I can finally use skype normally when needed.

doesn't install--has "error: failed retrieving file 'electron-1.7.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from x : The requested URL returned error: 404" where x is several different sites it tries.

@nerflad - that's a pleasure. You're a rock star in my world. What the hell is Skype doing with their software? Skype for Web is a mess. It's like they want to kill it or something. More power to you. R.
