Gentoo has a 4.4.65 version available through a kde-testing overlay (repository?) which I'm not sure if that is 4.4.1 development or more likely early development of 4.5. It is usually not that safe to try that until it reaches more like the 4.4.70s-80s. Perhaps I'll watch that and see if it is working for people - if so give it a try. It is a bit of work to set up though - I'm using "sets" which means you don't have to install a monolithic KDE, but just things like kdeutils, kdeadmin, kdegraphics, etc. To switch to the kde-testing overlay I have to muck with my sets files.<br>

</div>With<br>
deb <a href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu" target="_blank">http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu</a> hardy main<br>
in /etc/apt/sources.list I get<br>
ii kdelibs5 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa1<br>
and compiling digikam from trunk works<br>
fine (apart from two small issues, where newer KDE features<br>
are used, but they can be hacked away ... ;-).<br>

</div>Thanks for the pointers - I am well aware of that, but<br>
I have to stay in sync with the other machines we use at<br>
work and we have several additional (private) packages for<br>
the group. So the upgrade will happen earliest at the end of July ...<br>
<br>
Best, Arnd<br>
