I aggre with that The question is: Can we consider PlayOnLinux as an emulator ? I think it is not: PlayOnLinux only use wine, who is permitted on Fedora. PlayOnLinux appears to me more like a "wine session manager". It allow to create and manage many wines virtuals drives, configure them, with differents versions of wine itself. But, we have to be very careful with this software since it downloads scripts and icons from the web (in the automated installer part)... And it can install for example IE or steam by simply clicking a button, without any mentions of the proprietary part of these software. I don't know if this is legal from the point of vue of our lawyers :) But, I think, with a little bit of work, it can be packaged. Alexandre >> >>> And emulators aren't allowed in Fedora. >> >> What?
