Hi Seb,

Well, current 0.9.0-beta3 tarballs build by Paco can be downloaded at this 
url :

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/0.9.0-beta3

This will certainly the official tarballs uploaded to SF.net download area.

About kubuntu inclusion, i don't know. This is not digiKam team task to plan 
distro packages.

Note than we have planed to release 0.9.0-final during december, just before 
Christmast.
