Haven't been able to get it to install. Tried something simple like this:
yum --enablerepo=epel-testing install xfdesktop

Error:
Problem: package xfdesktop-4.14.1-2.el8.x86_64 requires desktop-backgrounds-compat, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides f31-backgrounds-base needed by desktop-backgrounds-compat-31.0.0-1.el8.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
I didn't try the 'skip-broken' or 'nobest' options.
There's no group "Xfce" as there where on Epel 7. It could be very useful with minimal installation and with "base-x" group installed.
Trying to:
dnf --enablerepo=epel-testing install xfce4-*
i get 2 problems.
Problem 1: package xfce4-panel-devel-4.14.1.1-1.el8.x86_64 requires libxfce4ui-devel >= 4.14 but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides glade-devel needed by libxfce4ui-devel-4.14.1.1-1.el8.x86_64
Problem 2: package xfdesktop-4.14.1-2.el8.x86_64 requires desktop-backgrounds-compat, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides f31-backgrounds-base needed by desktop-backgrounds-compat-31.0.0-1.el8.noarch
Has xfdesktop 4.14.1-3.el8 been pushed to the epel-testing repository? I still only see 4.14.1-2.el8:
yum --enablerepo=epel-testing info xfdesktop
