I have uploaded my build to my fedora people area. Unfortunately the

that I changed into the source rpm area. Hopefully that trims it down

I also uploaded a repo file [1], the build order [2] , what didn't
build [3] , and a README [4] that includes how to install the desktop.

Just a heads up, incase people are wondering.
My KDE build that I built on RHEL8 beta works [1] on RHEL8 final release.
I have taken a RHEL8-Beta, already running KDE, and updated it to
RHEL8, and everything updated, and worked [1]
I have also taken a fresh installed, and updated, RHEL8 minimal, and
run the above commands to install KDE, and it worked also.
That doesn't mean this repo will be up forever, but it should last
until we get KDE in EPEL8, whenever that happens.

[1] - worked: Means that it rebooted and came up, and a few basics
apps were tested (Konqueror, graphical file system, konsole). There
is not garantee that everything works.
