Fedora 41 install instructions are incorrect

[thelabcat]

With Fedora 41, DNF 5 has arrived, and the command to add a repo is slightly different than in older Fedora releases, as documented here. The command should be `dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/41/winehq.repo` (but note that the repo URL is giving a 404 right now as a separate issue). The WineHQ Wiki shows the DNF 4 command for Fedora 41 as well as Fedora 40, wen it should be DNF 5 for Fedora 41.

[thelabcat]

Have checked, and https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/41 does not exist at all. https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/41 does, though. The instructions for Fedora 40 were copy-pasted and the number changed to 41 without the repository even existing yet, let alone the shown command being tested to work. This is quite disappointing.

The command should be `dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/41/winehq.repo`

Based on the man page you linked to, that should be

Code: Select all

dnf5 config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/41/winehq.repo

I've updated the wiki with the dnf5 command. Thanks for pointing that out.

Those two URLs are identical. The repo does exist here, and the packages can be downloaded manually, though the winehq.repo file is giving a 404 error. There are often problems with mirror syncing when a new repo is added. Try again later, and if the problem persists, file a bug.

The dnf command is symlinked to dnf5 in Fedora 41 (I.E. /usr/bin/dnf is a symlink to /usr/bin/dnf5), so the two are interchangeable. Don't know which one is better to list, however, and using dnf5 does work. Thank you for editing!

Sorry about the URLs, that was a typo. I meant to say that only https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/40 exists. I still get a 404 for https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/41, even without pointing to the repo file. I do see here that it was at least sort of working for somebody, but I still get nothing. I feel iffy about filing a bug with a problem that seems localized to me, but not sure what else to do.

Someone's already filed a bug. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57404

I see. As now stated on the report, the issue is indeed fixed now. Thanks for your help!

I’ve been following the install instructions for Fedora 41, but I’ve run into some issues that make me think the instructions might be outdated or incorrect. Some steps don’t seem to work as expected, and I’ve encountered errors during the process.

Has anyone else faced the same issue? If so, can you share the correct installation steps or any workarounds?

Other people have followed the new instructions without issue. Exactly what errors are you encountering?
