My apologies for not listening to others about KDE on EPEL8. As
promised, this will be an open discussion. What I propose will just
be a suggestion.
People have correctly pointed out that it would be best if we do not
have the main KDE in epel8 be a module. It would make things more
stable and compatible if we used the QT5 packages from RHEL8 as our
basis, and go from there.
With that in mind, these are the things that I think are good ideas.
* No kde4 or kde3
* Follow the KDE LTS branches as much as possible.
** qt5
*** There are about 10 packages that have to stay at 5.11 due to
RHEL's packages. The rest get built with 5.12.x
*** If RHEL8 updates their qt5, adjust with them.
***

** plasma
*** Follow the same LTS stream as qt5 (currently 5.12)
***
https://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/5.12.9/
** kf5
*** Pick a stream and stick with it ??
*** I don't know of kf5 having an LTS stream.
*** Try to keep all the kf5 packages at the same stream
***

** KDE apps
*** Let the version be the decision of each app maintainer ???
* For qt5, plasma and kf5, have a group be the the maintainer.
* For the apps, let it be maintained by either a group or individual.
Depending on the app.
What do people think?
