An updated qt5 in CentOS Stream 8 allowed us to update KDE Plasma Desktop. I believe everything is in place and ready for use and/or testing.
This is for CentOS Stream 8 only, at this time.
===How to Install [1] = Install epel-release dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm = Enable PowerTools dnf config-manager --enable powertools = Install KDE dnf group install kde-desktop-environment or dnf group install kde-desktop (Optional) dnf group install kde-apps (Optional) dnf group install kde-media (Optional) dnf group install kde-education (Optional) dnf install okular (Optional) dnf group install kde-software-development (Optional) dnf group install kf5-software-development
=== KNOWN PACKAGE ISSUES
== UNINSTALLABLE PACKAGES * kaccounts-providers - no signon-ui * kigo - no gnugo * lokalize - no translate-toolkit , needs rebuilding on python3
== UNBUILT PACKAGES * polkit-qt5 - need branch and build of polkit-qt-1 * kde-gtk-config - needs sassc * digikam - can't find opencv despite it being installed
== UN-UPDATED PACKAGES (but still install and run) * kpmcore - would need a newer util-linux than available in RHEL 8 * kde-partitionmanager - would need a newer kpmcore
Feel free to install and test. Troy Dawson

= Enable PowerTools
I just performed a quick check, these are the following packages that require PowerTools in order to install:
= Non-software-dev groups boost-python3 fuse-sshfs poppler-qt5 xorg-x11-apps
= Software-dev groups cppcheck meson ninja-build perl-XML-DOM perl-XML-RegExp
For the software-dev, that's probably where they should be (except maybe Perl?). But for the runtime groups, I wonder if we can use those as examples of things that don't belong in PowerTools and should be ironed out in coordination with RHEL engineering.

The KPMCore libblkid bump to 2.33.2[1] comes from an issue with resizing logical partitions[2] that was fixed in 2.33.2[3].
It may be worth asking if this fix can be backported so that we can relax the dependency and update kde-partitionmanager.
