2. Need to open a port so that our program can use it to send and receive data. This also should be done from RPM while installing.
Keep in mind that in the Fedora buildsystem, there will be no network access allowed during the build process - this defeats the purpose of reproducible builds if you go grab bits during the build process. I also agree with Manuel, you do not want to mess with iptables during the install - the chances for breaking something are extremely high.
