[Digikam-users] Is Digikam stable on KDE SC 4.4?

[Jim Dory]

Gentoo has a 4.4.65 version available through a kde-testing overlay
(repository?) which I'm not sure if that is 4.4.1 development or more likely
early development of 4.5. It is usually not that safe to try that until it
reaches more like the 4.4.70s-80s. Perhaps I'll watch that and see if it is
working for people - if so give it a try. It is a bit of work to set up
though - I'm using "sets" which means you don't have to install a monolithic
KDE, but just things like kdeutils, kdeadmin, kdegraphics, etc. To switch to
the kde-testing overlay I have to muck with my sets files.
