Not a Fedora user, but in general for every OS, I'd web search something like: "
AFAICT is only the latest version available in the fedora mirrors:
$ sudo dnf list --showduplicates biber
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Installed packages
biber.noarch 2.19-6.fc41 fedora
Available packages
biber.noarch 2.19-6.fc41 fedora
I tried to uninstall the current biber version (and with it all other texlive packages)
sudo dnf remove biber
and then I downloaded the biber 2.17 package(s, I tried many...) from kogi and installed it
sudo dnf install ./biber-2.17-5.fc37.noarch.rpm
But it didn't work, because the biber version was not compatible with the current Perl version,. I then tried to manually install the correct perl version, like with biber, but that also threw an incompatibility error.
And at that point I think it it not feasible to downgrade biber in fedora...
Lucklily I was able to fix the formula by updating two libraries to their latest version, and I uploaded the fix on my hombrew tap. To install it, just run this (updated 2024-05-01):
brew install dgfl-gh/taps/biber@2.17
It should then compile biber, which takes about 1m30s on my machine, and you should be good to go :) Remember to look for
brew link
failure messages in case you hadn't uninstalled the latest biber.
You use openssl@1, which is now unmaintained and uninstallable with homebrew. I have created the same Formula as you, but with the updated openssl@3, which is available on my tap
To install, just use
brew install afonsofrancof/taps/biber@2.17
Hope it helps :)
tectonic fails to build with the 2020.0r0 bundle and biblatex:
any ideas how I can fix that?
