[Digikam-users] Packages of Digikam 5 beta 2 for Ubuntu 15.10 on my PPA

[Philip Johnsson]

Dmitri,

Nice to know!

Have fun discovering the future of Digikam! :)

All features except multimedia support are enable as far as I know. I have
to look into enabling it as right now ubuntu 15.10 give conflicting binary
symbols as mixed versions of gstreamer will load at the same time and crash
digikam 5. Hopefully I can enable it in a coming update.
