It is up to the distro maintainers to decide which packages they offer
in their repositories. The XBoard developers play o role in this.
But programs that are not in a repository can usually be installed from
source. The uci2wb and polyglot in the hgm.nubati.net source repository
do contain a Makefile, so I would expect the command
sudo make install
to work for those. These would install the binaries in /usr/local/bin; I
don't know if that would be a problem on Fedora (as I never used that).

I am trying to set up a new machine to test Duck Chess, using HGM's
latest versions of xboard and uci2wb. My typical starting point is to
install both xboard and uci2wb from a repository.
It appears fedora does things differently than the other linux distros.
I was able to install both xboard and stockfish, but I can't run
stockfish. The problem is that I can't locate a repository for uci2wb.
I tried to install polyglot, but column't locate that either.
I have spent many hours Googling for answers, but 'm not sure how to
proceed.
