I assume that you mean popcorn-time I don't think it's available in the Mageia repo's. You can just download the tar file, extract the contents and run the executable.

Great news!

I have packaged Popcorn Time for Mageia 5 and the source RPM can be downloaded from my dropbox:

Enjoy and you're welcome!

Where you need rpm as program works with few requires with nodejs,all packages are available from Mageia official repos.?

Runt this as root from the dir that holds the spec file:

Code: Select all

urpmi popcorntime.spec --auto

I think you didn't understand the question. ozky asked why you need a package for this at all, it can be easily installed without an rpm package and it does not have that many dependencies.
You just need to download it, extract it and run it.

Florian get my point and there is no rpm at all only src rpm and no explained to users how to build it to rpm,many have no idea how to do it i know that much how to compile it.

My bad.

Well a lot of distros already offers packages for it so I thought why not offer it to Mageia as well.

ozky: You build your own rpm from the src rpm with rpm --rebuild popcorntime.....................src.rpm.

At least you have an alternative if you would like to install it with urpmi.
