Does anyone know why Incus 7.x is not released for Fedora? There is a Redhat Buzilla entry for it [1], but the question about it has not been answered. I don’t know where else to look.
upstream doesnt build the fedora package, zabbly only ships deb repos for debian/ubuntu. so 7.x landing in fedora is entirely up to whoever maintains the incus rpm there, and “new version available” bugzilla tickets get ignored constantly.
better shot is going straight at the package repo on src.fedoraproject.org and opening an issue / pinging the maintainer, or asking on the fedora devel list. if nobody is really maintaining it thats also the answer, then it needs a new maintainer or you run the upstream builds yourself in the meantime.
I’ve sent an email to Neal Gompa. Let’s see if he can tell us more.
Still no luck to get an answer. I’ve now also sent an email to Reto Gantenbein
In the mean time I’ve build my own .rpm package. As a start I have version 7.1 running on my Fedora44 system.
I’ve started using Jurav59’s COPR repo.
It’s automated and includes the incus-ui, which I appreciate. Seems to get updates right away after a new Incus version comes out.
I saw it was originally mentioned on the forums here: Incus packages available for EPEL / RHEL - #5 by totoCZ
That said, I don’t know enough about COPR or the process of these automated builds to know if there’s inherent risk to using it, so use at your own risk.
If anyone knows more on that front, please do tell.
