Nextcloud-Client: How to get latest 4.x release into the repos?

It looks like version 4.0.7 made it into the Fedora Rawhide repos. :wink:

… and now it’s in testing repos for Fedora 43 and 44. It seems like the new version is coming soon. :wink:

After version 4 comes 33. They changed their versioning:

There is a bubble wrap version that seems to be uptodate.

I installed the 4.x version from the testing repositories with:

dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2026-7a928a20e6

If it works as it should please give a thumbs up, this way it will land soon in stable.

@ilikelinux, attempting to locate Bodhi releases is kafkaesque, so I rarely bother.

Choose Updates and click on the package which is testing. And there you are.

Two persons already gave thumbs up, every one counts … of course if you tested it first :slight_smile:

v4.0.7 is in the stable repo for Fedora 44 now. :+1:

Just recognized that in Arch Linux. After some days with v4.0.7, there was an update today. The new version is v33.0.0.

Fingers crossed that the new version is coming to Fedora soon.

That is probably the reason on first place, that the client still was the old one. To move directly to 33?

@ilikelinux, I’ve been unable to ascertain what that sentence means.

On Fedora latest version is 3.17.4.

Fedora has been behind on 3.17

My conclusion is that we have been behind because there was a rc2 from V33 available. So probably pulling that step over the 4.x version, straight to V33.

Now everithing is fine, all are happy and yes the next version will be v33 :smiley:

I just want to know if I do something wrong here.

There are tools to help with providing karma to updates, if that’s what you’re finding tricky to do:

There is:

Can someone start the built of
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nextcloud-client/pull-request/16 ?

Please try this first and give feedback if it is available on F42:

sudo dnf update nextcloud-clent --enablerepo=updates-testing

I do believe that F42 will be not a priority because it will get EOL very soon.

You might best start to upgrade to F43 if you like to stay on old-stable or test the beta release.

btw:

This is a great situation for a Container. You’ll always be up to date and the minimal Arch OS Image size would be negligible for the experience. A toolbox container (podman/docker) for Nextcloud :+1:

sudo dnf update nextcloud-client --enablerepo=updates-testing

Nothing to do.

I can’t update to Fedora 43 because x11 is disabled there. Some of my workflow depends on stuff that is not merged yet into wayland

Try perhaps to install the Fedora 43 version with:

  • sudo dnf update nextcloud-client --enablerepo=updates-testing --releasever=43
