Hello,
Several months ago I installed motion 5.0.0-git-20251009-8bc2260 on Fedora
43. It had a learning curve, but now I really like it and I have audio at
my front door. When I go to the github it still says 4.7.1 is the latest
release, when I clone the source it's motion 5.0.0-git-20260121-10b6d0f.
I'm not sure why, but it's confusing.
Releases 17 <https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases>
Release 4.7.1 Latest
on Sep 19, 2025
<https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/tag/release-4.7.1>
Using Fedora one thing I noticed going from 4.7.1 to 5 was to have it start
as a service at boot, I had to add these two lines to the script. This may
help somebody else.

# There's no way to do it automatically, sadly

# for 32bit archs:

Thanks,
