Re: KDE on RHEL 8.2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I managed to get KDE on EPEL8 built ahead of schedule.  Everything is
currently in epel-testing.
If you are running RHEL 8.2, and already have KDE installed, you
should now be able to update to it if you enable the epel-testing repo

Cautiously:
  dnf --enablerepo=epel-testing update qt5\* plasma\* kf5\* kde\*
Daredevil:
  dnf --enablerepo=epel-testing update

KNOWN ISSUES:
  digikam not updated - don't know if it will still work
  plasma-nm not updated - don't know if it will still work

* digikam - Don't know why it won't build, help would be appreciated
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=44213799
* plasma-nm - Cannot build until CentOS 8.2 is released, with it's Devel repo.
