The building of KDE Plasma Desktop is underway. But it's going to take at least a month to complete. Some parts might take a few months.
I'm trying things a little differently this time. On epel8 and epel8-next I would build all the packages and then do one big bodhi update (or three at the same time, to keep the size down). That was ok, because it didn't take me as long to get everything done. With this first build of epel9, I am doing a bodhi update each day, with those packages I was able to build that day. I'll keep those in epel-testing until there are enough packages to do at least a minimal KDE install that brings up a desktop. Summary: Don't expect the KDE Plasma Desktop in epel9-testing to work for at least another month, possibly longer. Note 1 - Biggest problem: python2 in qt5-qtwebengine RHEL9 has no python2. qtwebengine is based on chromium which (until recently) required python2. The updated chromium which doesn't require python2 has not been ported to qt5-qtwebengine, or qt6-qtwebengine. Note 2 - Progress; 87 packages built out of 380 packages total Note 3 - Biggest blocker by smallest package: perl-Any-URI-Escape This small perl package blocks kf5-kdoctools from building. And many packages require kf5-kdoctools to create their documentation. And those packages block others. This isn't as scary as qtwebengine. We're working on getting this package in epel9. I just thought it funny how one tiny package can block so many others. Thank you for your patience. Troy Dawson
