#613 kinfocenter not present in EPEL 10
Opened 4 months ago by alaurie. Modified 4 months ago

The plasma package kinfocenter is not present in EPEL 10 and cannot be installed and therefore there is no 'About this system' window in plasma settings. It is present in EPEL 9 and the Fedora repos.

Ordinarily, I'd assign this to @tdawson, but I think he's away on vacation for the moment...

While kinfocenter builds on epel10, it does not install due to missing runtime dependencies.

kinfocenter requires aha and xdpyinfo
xdpyinfo requires libXxf86dga and libdmx

I'm sorry I missed those. I'll get started getting them into epel10 right now.
This might be quick, or it might take up to 3 weeks to get them in.

Question for the KDE SIG at large.
kinfocenter requires xdpyinfo.
xdpyinfo is an X11 display information utility
Since CentOS / RHEL 10 doesn't have X, can we take that out for EPEL 10? It looks like I can, I just want a second opinion.

We discussed this in the meeting. It makes sense to contribute a patch upstream to make the Xserver kinfocenter page optional and turn it off for RHEL 10.
