Description Troy Dawson 2022-02-03 19:35:18 UTC
I am building the KDE Plasma desktop in EPEL9.  A package requires xorg-x11-drv-evdev-devel to build.

The package affected by this is plasma-desktop, the Plasma Desktop Shell.
It is one of the critical packages for the KDE Plasma Desktop.

Please add xorg-x11-drv-evdev-devel to RHEL9 CRB as soon as possible.

Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2022-02-04 03:23:42 UTC
WFH, this devel package is just the evdev.pc pkgconfig file and a single header with the property names (which are strings, public API and will never change). So the maintenance effort here is almost nil.

Troy, can you check if you need xorg-x11-drv-libinput as well? So we can get this sorted at the same time.

Comment 2 Troy Dawson 2022-02-04 14:24:17 UTC
Both xorg-x11-drv-libinput and xorg-x11-drv-libinput-devel are already in RHEL9 (xorg-x11-drv-libinput in appstream, xorg-x11-drv-libinput-devel in CRB)
So, we are good with just xorg-x11-drv-evdev-devel

Comment 10 Troy Dawson 2022-03-14 21:30:16 UTC
Sorry for being a little slow.
I can see xorg-x11-drv-evdev-devel in CentOS Stream 9 CRB and more importantly the epel9 buildroot.
Thank you very much for the quick reponse.
This ticket can be closed if you want.
