Wavemon on fedora 43

Ask Fedora

I’m trying to install wavemon using dnf install wavemon, but i’m getting “no match for argument: wavemon”. I see that it is in the packages.fedoraprojects.org site, but the latest release shown there is for fedora 42; however, if i go on the builds tab, there’s a build for fedora 43 that was built on 2025-07-26.

What do i do in this case? do i download the package and install it manually? if i do that, will it update when an update becomes available, or, would i need to manually update it in the future? do i wait for it to become available in the standard repositories so that i can install it with dnf install?

Thank you!

I see that it was built for f42 and f43 Making sure you're not a bot!

You could downlaod from koji. But there may be something wrong with the package.

You can see here Making sure you're not a bot! that it was never pushed to f42 or f43.

I do not know why.

Maybe file a bugreport to see if the maintain forgot to push the build for release?

thank you! this worked! does this mean it will get updated on its own even if i installed a build for a previous version of fedora? that bit is still not clear. thanks again!

To be clear, there will be no updates until someone volunteers as a new maintainer, although we can try rebuilding it in Copr if there’s a pressing need for that.

It was orphaned, so it would be good to know why before rebuilding it - actually, even before using it.

The mentioned command line will pull in dependencies from F42, so it should be followed without double checking the transaction.
