I created a tarball with https://phabricator.kde.org/D10923 (make
Qt4Webkit optional) and https://phabricator.kde.org/D10924 (temp.
disable Goolgle and Discogs cover search) included:

https://dev.exherbo.org/~heirecka/amarok-2.9.0.tar.xz

I almost didn't notice that it crashes on shutdown with a "double free
or corruption" (because I don't have a kdelibs4 drkonqi anymore). Can
somebody reproduce this? Anybody willing to volunteer and fix it?

Also, sysadmins currently imposed a dependency/release freeze [1], so we
need to wait a bit anyway.

I already merged some stuff from master into kf5, but the two branches
diverged quite a bit and I discussed with Mark on #amarok.dev to
cherry-pick in the future.

Cheers,
