atwebb/vk_hdr_layer_plasma6

Description

Simple package of Zamundaa's VK_hdr_layer, used for experimental HDR on Plasma 6. See https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2023/12/18/update-on-hdr-and-colormanagement-in-plasma.html for other instructions.

Made this because the COPR from kylegospo didn't work for me. Theirs is from the initial implementation https://github.com/Drakulix/VK_hdr_layer. Mine is from the fork by a KDE developer https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer. Commit difference of 8 ahead and 3 behind, so makes sense.

Tested on Fedora Kinoite 40 with AMD GPU. I got it to work with mpv, then Steam and gamescope.

Note: Only works with native packages (rpm-ostree and dnf), not Flatpaks. In theory it can probably made into a Flatpak Vulkan layer similar to VkBasalt, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet. I tried a few different incantations but nothing stuck :(

Note the 2nd: As of 2024-05-05, changed package name to vk-hdr-layer-plasma6. The underscores didn't match general package naming norms.
