Nextcloud and Fedora packaging

I’m currently a owncloud admin/user and wanted to migrate to nextcloud. My host is running a Fedora 26 distribution and at the beginning, I was glad to see that Nextcloud is fully deployed from the Fedora package.

However this is a pretty old version of nextcloud as this is 10.0.4, which is OC_version: 9.1.4.2, while in parallel owncloud is 9.1.45 which is OC_version 9.1.5.2?Conclusion, no way to upgrade !

I did some investigation and they were an initiative to develop a Copr repository ( https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jhogarth/NextCloud/ ), but that one has been stopped as Nextcloud was integrated into Fedora !

How to get Nextcloud 11 or even 12 on Fedora ?

If you check the bugtracker, they already discussing how to upgrade:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1433919

NC 10 is no longer supported, so an upgrade should be done soon. In theory you can follow the manual steps for an upgrade but this will probably break your packages.

@jospoortvliet: Do you have friends at the fedora community you could ping?

Thanks,
I’ll follow-up on the bugzilla you mentioned. Indeed the manual steps is not what I would preferred to follow.
