Hello, digikam 0.9.5-beta1 was released on 2008-11-10. Renaming the ebuild and installing libkdcraw 0.1.6 (also not in tree, but renaming the ebuild works, too) seems to do the trick: 0.9.5-beta1 runs nicely. Reproducible: Always
Confirm this works, but note that the ebuild has a hard-coded file name for the 0.9.4 documentation tarball. There isn't a 0.9.5 docs tarball yet, but presumably there will one for a final release and this will need fixing.
Beta 2 now out. Again, renaming ebuild works but with 0.9.4 docs because 0.9.5 don't exist yet. Compiles and launches OK.
Beta 3 is in cvs.
