I like "xv" also, especially for colorizing weather satellite imagery.
When I wanted to add it to my Fedora system in July 2013 (F-18 at that
time), Ed Greshko pointed me to this rpm:

I don't recall having any problems with it. I'm at F-23 now, and it
still works. My only suggestion is to try the rpm that Ed pointed me
to. The full Fedora users group discussion on this starts here:

Two more general notes on "xv"...
1. I personally would like to see this tool supported again.
2. A new color standard "Rec. 2020" has been adopted. Eventually,
monitors will become available that can display the full range of colors
that this new standard encodes. That range of colors is substantially
larger than the sRGB that most of today's monitors can display. xv, the
gimp, and everything else that involves color will need updating to
properly handle and display colors encoded according the new standard.
I suspect the same is true of Fedora itself, and quite possibly the
Linux kernel. I hope the appropriate people are on top of this!
Bill.
