This has enabled me to build KMyMoney HEAD from git. I am now trying it out but first impressions are not good. More about that later maybe.

I think Ralf added the new libalkimia price update support to the 4.8 branch
a while ago. I have not followed it thoroughly, though.  Ralf is currently
not regularly available, so it might take a bit until he may join the thread.

Found these consecutive entries in the git logs:

commit 059577978c129e8e07882fb38b6c29b3f6089764 (tag: 4.8.5)

    Fix finding kmymoneyui.rc file

    Class AlkOnlineQuotesWidget from alkimia's 8.0 branch creates an instance
    of the class KComponentData to find the correct translation, which causes
    kmymoney to search for alkimia/alkimiaui.rc.
