Which king of RAW exactly. digiKam can write in some RAW file thrue
Exiv2, as NEF or DNG for exemple, but i recommend to use last Exiv2
version (0.18.2)

With last Exiv2 XMP sidecar file is drived, in read only mode, to
import XMP metadata from LR RAW files to digiKam

The metadata option are in digiKam setup panel. Option name are
generic and do not mention LR.
