Although I would strongly recommend that you *do not* do this
(installing fedora packages on CentOS is a bad idea) - this works:

Download packages

conky-1.10.8-2.fc29.i686.rpm

imlib2-1.4.9-7.fc29.i686.rpm

tolua++-1.0.93-24.fc29.i686.rpm

wireless-tools-29-21.fc29.i686.rpm

You should be able to find them on rpmfind easily enough... note that
they are all i686! Then just "dnf install" them.

Worked for me.


Thanks for that info. I will give this a try as this only on an 
experimental machine and it will be rebuilt when 8.1 comes out, and 
hopefully epel will be updated by then.

Conky was in EPEL7 for CentOS7, so you'll have to request that they
build it for EPEL8.
