There is an upstream patch to fix the build against NetworkManager >= 1.0.0 using libnm. The patch should be added to the Fedora package and the NetworkManager integration re-enabled for F29+ (and RHEL8?).
Created attachment 1587293 [details] Add upstream patch and update spec file Build succeeds & NM integration functionality on F30.
Thanks, applied.
Applied to rawhide, for f30 I changed it a bit.
