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 12:02:11 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2063523 +++

Description of problem:
Starting with KDE Plasma 5.25, the minimum version of the wayland-protocols was raised to 1.25. Please update to at least wayland-protocols 1.25 so we can use it for KDE Plasma in EPEL.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.23-1.el8
Comment 1 Niels De Graef 2022-03-22 10:13:21 UTC 
We're already well into the RHEL 8 cycle (BZs are now implicitly targeting 8.7) so new features are no longer really a priority at the moment. Even if we were still supporting KDE in RHEL, we'd still keep the version fixed (like we do with GNOME); this BZ is for KDE 5.25 which isn't even released yet, so that makes justification even harder.

Combine all that with the chance of introducing regressions to our customers and the limited capacity we have in our SST (both development & QE), I don't think it makes sense to take this (or bug 2063524) on.

If you plan on still building this newer version of KDE, you can still create an EPEL-specific branch of the needed dependencies (or even create a COPR).
Comment 2 Neal Gompa 2022-03-22 11:00:18 UTC 
Do upgrading the wayland and wayland-protocols packages really cause regressions? That's never been my impression in seeing how these libraries have evolved in Fedora for the past several releases.

I've been filing these requests well in advance because I'm trying to align the KDE SIG's schedules, RHEL point release release schedules, and KDE Plasma schedules (https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5). The KDE SIG tries to do one KDE Plasma upgrade a year, because we don't have the ability to maintain a single version forever.

We can't really do EPEL packages of this because EPEL does not allow overriding base packages. As it stands, we can't even upgrade to the current Plasma LTS (5.24) because wayland-protocols is at 1.23 instead of 1.24. If you aren't willing to upgrade to wayland-protocols-1.25 and wayland-1.20, can we at *least* just get wayland-protocols-1.24?
Comment 5 Niels De Graef 2022-08-23 09:14:53 UTC 
This got fixed as part of bug 2094138, since mesa needed a newer wayland-protocols version.
