Fedora Weewx RPM install

[Mark Jenks]

Good morning!

I was going to do PIP for the new 5.x install, instead of using the setup.py like I have for years.
Then I saw the RPM, and figured I was take a look at that, except the rpm doesn't work for Fedora.
Fedora is not Enterprise Linux, so you can not install EPEL-Repo for it, but all packages that are in the EPEL, are already avail for Fedora.

Looking at the RPM, epel-release is a dependency which is required by the RPM.  So either you create a new RPM for Fedora only, or the dependency needs to be removed.

 Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides epel-release needed by weewx-5.0.2-1.el9.noarch from weewx

Not withstanding all of that below Is there a weewx-5.0.2 source rpm (.srpm)
anywhere public?

I'm a Mageia user who's been installing the Fedora rpms for years (2009)
without
having dependency issues and I'm keen to condition the tradition :-)

You could git clone the repo and build your own from the makefile. Looks like it calls rpmbuild -ba so it should build the srpm hopefully.
