Is there a package that can be installed without compiling on Fedora 31? > Bob Crochelt Hi Bob, Unfortunately, Fedora has pretty much rapid release cycle. 31 is pretty much old now. I have made F34 and Suse RPMs in github release assets among deb and arch package on my NsCDE testing virtual machines. Supporting Debian is easier, it works out of the box on Ubuntu VM too, which I rarely boot. What I have heard, but not tested yet, Fedora 35 even broke X11 utils and libs in a bunch of 1-file packages so the spec file for RPM that I have made and ifdef-ed to rpm-build on redhatoids and Suse in the same time will probably break on F35 without new ifdefs in build and runtime dependencies. This below is a bad practice, but this one should not break anything: you can probably install it with "rpm -ivh --nodeps --force NsCDE-2.0.fc34.x86_64.rpm [1]. NsCDE really does not have much binary parts: if the "fpclock", "colorpicker" and (if using FVWM 2.X) "XOverrideFontCursor.so" are not binary compatible, you can replace them by the old binaries from NsCDE 1.X series. They are unchanged. You can find them all in /usr/lib64/NsCDE/Linux_x86_64/ after installation. [1] If you are sure you are not missing some Python 3 packages and really needed things which should be available even in very old distors.
