We know that there is only an official client for Debian.

We know that we can compile a client for EL8 from here, which we do:
https://github.com/sg4r/proxmox-backup-client/releases

We can see that more clients are planned in the roadmap:
  • Backup clients for other operating systems
There are also many posts in this forum about the need for more supported distributions. Official statement about a timing is not available.

We tried to update the patch to get version 2.1.5 (current with patch from the Github repo is 2.1.2) but the needed commits are not available in the official git repo: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=proxmox-backup.git;a=summary

Could someone update the git repo or give an instruction how we can update the source to compile version 2.1.5 - the maintainer from the above repo is not available.

Best would be to get official supported clients from Proxmox.
 
Thank you, currently we can't dive deeper into the source code. We are willing to pay someone who can show us how to compile properly new versions of proxmox-backup-client for EL8.x (Rocky). Can you point someone out?

when building the PBS packages, we don't build the dependencies from git, but from packages - the versions of which you find in the link I posted ;)

you can either check the corresponding git repo for the bump commit for that version, or you can download the corresponding packages (e.g., librust-proxmox-dev in the desired version) from our devel repo, they just contain the source code (in /usr/share/cargo/registry/...) and some metadata files.
