[Digikam-users] Installing Digikam from SVN

[Gilles Caulier]

Dotan,

On #digikam IRC channel, there is 2 Debian guru on line reguliary : Achim
Bohnet (allee) and Luka Renko (lure). they can guide you easily.

Note : i don't use Debian like dist : i'm Mandriva user since a very long
time...

You can access to digiKam channel on freenode.net network using your
preferred irc application (best for me is Konversation), or by a simple web
interface (look here on the bottom of page :
http://www.digikam.org/?q=contact)

Best
