KDE on EPEL 8
by Troy Dawson
Hi,
EPEL 8 is getting close to being available. I think now is the time
to start talking about KDE on EPEL8 in earnest.
Who is going to do the EPEL8 KDE packages?
I am volunteering to do them, but from what I've heard, there are
several other people who want to do it as well. I don't want to
duplicate effort, or take the spotlight from others.
Maybe if there is enough people we do it as a group and/or SIG.
On the flip side, I also want them initially done quickly. If someone
is volunteering, yet they've never built a package for Fedora or EPEL
before, I'd rather I do it then pass off the maintenance to them.
Just to save time.
Anyway, thoughts?

kmail not starting after the last update on F30
by José Abílio Oliveira Matos
After the last update, this morning, kmail no longer starts.
$ kmail
kmail: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN3re23RE23Arg9parse_intEPKciPv
What is strange is that today's update seems innocuous (famous last words, I know :-) ):

So from here only dbusmenu-qt and dbusmenu-qt5 seem related to qt/kde.

Amarok systray context menu not working
by Syam Krishnan
Hi
I have noticed recently that right-clicking on Amarok's systray icon no
longer brings up a proper menu. All I get is a menu with just a a single
item labelled "Amarok" and even that is not clickable.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks and regards,
Syam

EPEL8 KDE - Which Build Area
by Troy Dawson
Hi,
EPEL8 is almost a reality. I am finally able to request branches, and
have done so.
Something new in EPEL (starting with EPEL8) is the "playground".[1]
You can think of it as Fedora's rawhide, but different. Unlike Fedora
Rawhide, the -playground branch will not automatically be branched or
merged into EPEL8. I think playground is very descriptive, and the
article I linked to describes things better than I can.
I am going to start my first builds in playground, so I'm sure things
are working. But the question is ... what about the whole build.
My initial thought it to just build the whole thing in normal EPEL8
and not worry about playground for now.
But then I thought, what about having KDE as a module. EPEL modules
will not happen until the RHEL 8.1 timeframe (4 to 5 months from now).
If we have KDE as a module, it will do two positive things for us.
1 - we don't have to be so dependent on CRB for some -devel packages.
(ie: we could build out own gpgme to get the -devel package we need)
2 - We can replace certain RHEL8 packages (qt5) that are limiting our
KDE versions.
If we want to go to module only, for KDE. It might be better to have
our initial build of EPEL8 KDE be in playground only. That way, we
will not have to pull any packages out of the regular EPEL8 repository
when we move everything to modules.
Anyone wanting to use KDE that is running RHEL 8.0, would have to
enable the playground repository. I don't know if that is a good or
bad thing.
Anyway, I wanted others opinions.
