That's good to hear, I hope this works out the KDE 4.9 and onwards. Yesterday 
I almost went nuts because compiling libkcddb failed for the KDE/4.8 branch, 
and it was obvious that none of the v4.8.0 to v4.8.4 tags could have 
successfully compiled. Until I finally found out that, even though these tags 
exist in git and there is no kdemultimedia folder in tags/KDE/4.8.4 in SVN, 
kdemultimedia was indeed released un-split in the 4.8 series. I still have no 
clue where those source come from, but lucky enough the v4.9.0 tags compile 
against 4.8 kdelibs... trying to compile KDE from source without using the 
tarballs is really frustrating.

Kind regards,
Ralf
