Soft dependencies guidelines
by Miroslav Suchý
Hi,
rpm 4.12, which include soft dependencies landed in F21.
Are there plan to reflect this in our current Packaging Guidelines? Or we will wait till this feature will be recognized
by dnf, PackageKit and others?

jquery-ui packaging for use in OpenStack-Dashboard
by Matthias Runge
Hey there,
currently we're unbundling all used JavaScript libraries upstream in
Horizon aka. OpenStack Dashboard.
We currently don't have a package for jquery-ui in Fedora, e.g Debian has.
The version debian has, is 1.10.1, latest release from jquery-ui
upstream is 1.11.1
Of course, both versions are not that compatible, some files were
renamed, etc.
Would it be ok to package 1.10.1 for Fedora instead of latest version?
openstack-dashboard would be the first package to depend on this.

Package that has a BR: on itself
by Darryl L. Pierce
For my work I'm trying to package objectweb-asm3 for EPEL7 (and asked
the current maintainer to grant me co-maintainer privileges).
However, in just doing a scratch build on koji to see if it builds, I
get the following error in root.log:
DEBUG util.py:283: Getting requirements for objectweb-asm3-3.3.1-10.el7.src
DEBUG util.py:283: --> ant-1.9.2-9.el7.noarch
DEBUG util.py:283: --> maven-local-3.4.1-6.el7_0.noarch
DEBUG util.py:283: Error: No Package found for objectweb-asm3
How do you build a package in koji when the package requires itself to
be available?

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
