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

[Philip Johnsson]

Just a little update of this thread.

I now have packages of Digikam 5 beta 5 for Ubuntu 15.10 in my PPA if
anyone is interested to try it out. I will support with packages for Ubuntu
16.04 when it's released as final.

Happy digikaming!
