Created attachment 603780 [details, diff] patch for kmymoney-5.0.9999.ebuild There is a -DENABLE_UNFINISHEDFEATURES configuration option for KMyMoney which currently cannot be turned on with the existing ebuilds. As it is most likely to be wanted by people using the git head versions, I am proposing the enhancement for both kmymoney-5.0.9999.ebuild and for kmymoney-9999.ebuild. I've done this by adding an "advanced" useflag, and having this control the -DENABLE_UNFINISHEDFEATURES config option. I've attached patches for the two ebuilds, and for the metadata file to add a description of the use flag.

I don't think that `advanced` is a good name for that. How about `experimental`?
How likely is that flag to break the builds?
I definitely like "experimental" better. Using that setting should not break the build. It might break the runtime, but that's largely what it's there for. It might be nice to add some caveat or warning that it enables the inclusion of unfinished features, and should only be used for testing those features. (or something like that) I recently used it per request of the developer, to troubleshoot a display problem under Wayland. The newer version of the ledger did NOT display the problem, helping the developer focus on where the problem was - but the new ledger completely blew up with my personal data (which had a tendency to do that, so I wasn't all that surprised, and clearly not upset.)

TYPO: it's "unfinished features" not "infinished" Pure curiosity - why the move of kdewebkit down one line? How does the order matter? (Pointer to the fine manual I should have read is fine.) I also think the warning is just a bit extreme, but anyone doing this really should know what they are doing, so I suppose it makes sense. Thanks for accepting the idea.
