[Discuss] Installing BSD nvi 1.81.6 on Fedora 41

[abreauj at gmail.com (John Abreau)]

I've recently installed a Fedora 41 system, and had difficulty getting nvi
installed. When I dug through my notes from earlier this year, when I had
the same issue after installing Fedora 40, I found that the nvi rpm I've
been using, from Fedora 15, needed the libdb4 rpm from Fedora 39.

After having no luck finding an repos for Fedora 39, I dug through my
backups, and I found the rpms I had used earlier this year, and completed
my new system build.

I figure that, since the repos for Fedora 39 and earlier seem to have been
expunged from the Internet, it would be helpful to make these available for
any other Fedora users who prefer nvi.

I packaged the two rpms in a tarball and uploaded it to google drive, and
created a bitly link to the file. It's available at

https://bit.ly/nvi186rpms

Enjoy!
