RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Neal Gompa 2022-03-13 11:50:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
Starting with KDE Plasma 5.25, the minimum version of the wayland libraries was raised to 1.20. Please update to at least wayland 1.20 so we can use it for KDE Plasma in EPEL.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.19.0-4.el9
Comment 1 Neal Gompa 2022-03-13 12:47:20 UTC 
Merge request proposed: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/wayland/-/merge_requests/3
Comment 2 Neal Gompa 2022-08-08 08:26:28 UTC 
I've refreshed this merge request to update to wayland-1.21.0...
Comment 3 Troy Dawson 2022-08-08 13:48:04 UTC 
I'd like to comment on the importance of updating wayland in RHEL 9.

With RHEL 9.1 the KDE in epel9 will be updated to plasma 5.24.6 (possibly 5.24.7).

Although KDE plasma 5.24 is considered a Long Term Release, what KDE considers "Long Term" and what RHEL consider "Long Term" are two different things.
https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5

Looking at RHEL 9.3 we would like to update KDE Plasma to version 5.26/27 or possibly Plasma 6.

Keeping KDE Plasma updated yearly will allow the KDE epel team to keep up with security updates, as well as bug fixes.
Once we fall behind with the yearly updates, the complications of fixing issues goes up immensely.

Again, this doesn't have to be done by RHEL 9.1, but having it in place for RHEL 9.2 or 9.3 (with the latest wayland at the time) is extremely important to us.
Comment 4 Neal Gompa 2022-10-17 20:57:34 UTC 
Hey folks, can we please get this merged so that RHEL 9.2 will have it? Fedora KDE would like to ship Plasma 5.27 with Fedora 38 and RHEL 9.2, and this is a blocker for making that possible.
