Is there any legal barrier for packaging Popcorn Time for Fedora?
by James Abtahi
Hi,
I'm sure many of you are aware of the fact that Popcorn Time has been
resurrected and forked into two separate projects. The software itself
(here I'm referring get-popcorn.com version) is entirely free and
open-source (GPLv3) and it has become so popular that I think we should
consider adding it to the official fedora repos. Debian considered
adding the original version to their repos but when the development got
discontinued they abandoned the idea. Now that the project has been
forked and development continued I think there is a high possibility
that it may end up there soon.
The software may or may not be legal depending on the place you live and
I was wondering if this could be a barrier for getting Popcorn TIme
accepted into official fedora repos. Please let me know what you think.
Best,
James Abtahi

Problem initializing mock environment
by Jason Kusar
I'm trying to get mock set up on EPEL6, however it fails just trying to
init the chroot. I've not made any changes to the default configs.
I search the forums and quite a few pages deep into Google and couldn't
find any reference to this issue.
Debug output paste: http://pastebin.com/kfb2caZq
>From what I can tell, the RPM database isn't getting initialized, but I
can't find any reason why that might be. The same thing happens if I try
to generate an epel-5-x86_64 chroot.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
