Support for Fedora 42

Product requests and ideas
1

Fedora 42 will be released next week. There is no Jami repo for Fedora 42 at the moment, resulting in an error when trying to upgrade from F41 to F42.

If the user works around that the new Fedora 41 packages (April 11th) cannot be installed in Fedora 42 without downgrading the system to some older F41 packages.

Here the dnf error messages:

Jami for Fedora 42 has been available since Jami Nightly 20250510.

Much appreciated! Thank you!

I have installed the nightly on several computers and tried it with a long distance video call. Everything works as expected.

How do I install it? I don’t see it at Download Jami for GNU/Linux

Fedora 42 will be added to the download page when the stable build is available. You can use the nightly build for Fedora 42:

sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://dl.jami.net/nightly/fedora_42/jami-nightly.repo
sudo dnf install jami
