Neither of the two is an option, sorry.

3. is actually already the case, but its natural for an app having a
tight dependency on a library to have the need to depend on
in-development-versions. I've been doing some git bisecting already and
its not all that problematic as most of the time the results are
compilation errors in which case you'll just need a git checkout
<some-rev>  in kdevplatform and a build+install afterwards.

Alexander Neundorf recently worked again on the necessary cmake code to
simply publish the result of a local cmake build to the cdash public
dashboard. We have two projects set up there, but last time I was the
only one pushing builds there and thats less than useful.
