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.
