[piorunz]

ghostty maintainers have not released a repository for Fedora 44, it seems. You need to wait, or ask them when they are going to do so, or ask them if there's updated procedure for Fedora 44.

 

[zkab]

OK ... I will wait ...

 

[Trml]

What I had with another COPR (niri with dank) is getting 404 for the older release. That can happen too. After upgrading release, it all updated smooth again. I guess it's a matter of what releases a COPR maintainer can support / build packages for.

 

[dos2unix]

copr is user maintained, (I have projects on copr). Not maintained by the vendor.
Anyone can quit supporting an app any time they want to.

scottames? This is someone else's private repo? It is different from what OP was using (pgdev).
Always be careful with this. Adding third party repositories exposes your system to whatever binary the author decide to publish.

This is the repo in copr. copr is pretty good about code checking, and vetting/ They dont just let anything get added.

But still, which one is official, and which one is a private guy repo?
Fedora does not have resources to check every binary, and builds are not reproducible, meaning, anyone can sneak malicious code one day. Same thing happens in Google Play on Android, Chrome addons, Firefox addons, Apple Appstore, very often.

 

[dos2unix]

Fedora does not have resources to check every binary,

They DO have the resources to check every app that goes in copr.

Here are the official installation instructions fromhre official site.

Binaries and Packages - Install

Install Ghostty without building it manually by downloading and running a prebuilt binary or package.

ghostty.org

It uses the same repo, I posted above.

I doubt they check every single binary that goes into repos and not sure if builds are reproducible but I may be wrong.

As you say, main source lists scottames repository as official.
What is the OP using then?

⚙️ AppImage for Ghostty Terminal Emulator [Maintainer=@psadi] - pkgforge-dev/ghostty-appimage

github.com

drawback: it was released two months ago. might be "too old" for your taste.

could use it until the repo issue passes with success.

also assuming the op "has" to use this program. for broken repo or something else... dos2unix knows way more than me.

You are absolutely wrong, every .. I mean EVERY single app goes thru 5 automated code checkers. But here's the thing, I can't upload a binary to copr, you have to include the source, it can live in github, or some public accessible place, but the source code has to be accessible. You never upload a binary to copr. I only submit source code. copr builds it on the fly, and thats the binary you get. Now of course you can by-pass copr and download from a 3rd party website.

This is the biggest difference between fedora and most other repos.

exactly.. but if you're brave, you can always compile yourself

Oh that's great to hear. I learn something new every day, thank you.

This question remain why OP cited different repo while ghostty now sources scottames one as official.

Yes, good you noticed that. @zkab you definitely want to check that. Also, it shows they released it for your new release already.
