Amarok 2.9.0 "Hibernaculum" released

[philou at philou.org]

Hello Heiko,

After much of a fight to 1/ update-install the correct kf5* Debian
packages 2/ manually compile/install Google Mock and 3/ correctly link
mysql test binaries, i was finally able to compile Amarok and it runs
correctly !

Thanks to all developers for such a great music music player.

Philippe

For the record, the following binaries were missing some
references to several shared libraries : -lrt -lnuma -llz4 -laio -lcrypt

so i had to manually add them in the following link.txt files (though
i'm sure there's an easier way)

./tests/core-impl/collections/db/sql/CMakeFiles/testsqlalbum.dir/link.txt
./tests/core-impl/collections/db/sql/CMakeFiles/testsqlartist.dir/link.txt
./tests/core-impl/collections/db/sql/CMakeFiles/testsqlcollection.dir/link.txt
