enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY

Thank you very much for your very clear illustrations and instructions. You certainly helped me to restore updates to Fedora20. On August 01st 2014, I had tried installing an image editor, but the installation failed and subsequently prevented Fedora20 from accessing updates. I searched the web for help but found nothing that worked until I found your excellent article today. Thanks very much again. “Much of the good things in life are indeed free”
