Installed it back with Fedora 38, but have since gone to 40.
Changed the repo.d from weewx-test to the normal repo.d.

Getting this error while trying to do an upgrade.  Seems there is no el40 yet.

Thanks!

el40 ?   I suspect you have an error in your repo.d file.

Okay, looks like might need a Fedora page out here.  The redhat releases don't align with the fedora ones.    Fedora 40, is still Redhat EL9.

So, I fixed the repo file to el9, and it looks like it can see it. 

But 5.1b4 is what it sees and says it's up to date, even though 5.1 (non beta) is the latest.   I'll look into this later.

Okay, even though it thought 5.1 is the latest version, I could find 5.1.0-2, and install that one.  Hopefully it stays out of the Beta ones now, until I need to go back.
