[Digikam-users] digikam 0.8 SVN questions

[Sebastian Röder]

Hello,

I' trying to install digikam from the SVN snapshots for some days now on 
Gentoo Linux. 

First I wanted to install in paralell to the stable digikam (Gentoo ebuild 
that installs to /usr) to /usr/local - but I was told not to do so.

Them I unistalled all the stable digikam ebuilds (libkipi and plugins 
libkexif, digikam & plugins) but installing the SVN stuff to /usr/local still 
brought some problems. My albums were "empty" and the console output says 
that it could not find KIO-slave "album" (or something like that) to open the 
albums. Now I've installed everything to /usr (were KDE is located) and it 
seems to work - or do I have put it in /usr/kde?

What I find strange is that there is no translations of the GUI but I'm quite 
sure the beta1 had some - is there no translation yet or did I something 
wrong?

Furthermore I'd expact to see the right sidebar in the image editor window for 
Histogramm, EXIF and so on but they are not there. Showphoto still has the 
"old" thumnail "sidebar" on the right instead of the new style one below the 
main window. I used shnapshots form last night, 3am. Are this things not in 
SVN yet?

Last question is whether I handled SVN right:

In kdeextragear-libs I did ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-debug=full 
--without-arts. Then I went in the subdirs libkexif, libkipi and kipi-plugins 
and did make + (as root) make install.    

In kdeextragear-graphics I followed the same procedure for digikam and 
digikam-plugins.

OK: here a summary of my questions:

1. Did I do the install steps right?
2. Do I have to install to /usr, /usr/kde or can I somehow install 
to /usr/local to seperate official software (Gentoo ebuilds) from my testing 
SVN stuff?
3. How do I cleanly uninstall the stuff I manualy compiled? (Is make uninstall 
the right way to go and is there a way to uninstall without keeping the 
source dirs?)
4. What about translations of current SVN and the "missing features? Is this 
not yet in SVN or did I something wrong?

Thanks for your help!
