Now that RHEL 8.2 is out, those of you who are KDE users might notice that you cannot update certain things due to the change in qt5. Mainly that qt5 changed from qt5-5.11 to qt5-5.12. This is actually a good thing. qt5-5.12 is an LTS release and has many bugfixes. The downside is that certain key packages need to be updated and rebuilt.
This was known about beforehand, but due to the nature of EPEL, nothing could be rebuilt on EPEL8 until RHEL 8.2 was publicly released.
Current Plan: Rebuild all of the current KDE Plasma Desktop that is in EPEL8. Updating all packages that are possible to update. There are a few that cannot be updated, but I believe that is about 5 out of 300. I expect this to take a week and a half, and should be done by May 13. At this point, these rebuilt packages will go into epel-testing.
The majority of packages will be at these versions. Except for qt5, the vast majority of the packages will match those of Fedora 32. qt5* 5.12 plasma* 5.18 kf5* 5.68 / 19.12 apps 5.18 / 19.12
Thank you for your patience. If you wish to open bugzilla's for certain packages, that is fine. Feel free to do that, and assign them to me.

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.

Looks like it wants opencv >= 3.3

Ya, but it's getting opencv 3.4.6 I'm wondering if there is something wrong with RHEL's opencv-3.4.6. opencv-devel isn't pulling in opencv. I'm having to specifically BuildRequires it. At some point (opencv-3.4.6-2) they moved the cmake files from /usr/share/OpenCV/ to /usr/<lib>/cmake/OpenCV/ ^^^ That's the thing I'm guessing is the problem.
Still investigating. Troy
