Kdevelop 4 and kdevplatform beta8 .deb packages for Kubuntu Karmic 9.10 (with kde 4.4 from ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports) are available on my PPA.
I moved all kdevelop packages in a new PPA, you can add it running:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daniele.domenichelli/kdevelop
sudo apt-get update
(you should also remove my other ppa’s if you just use only kdevelop packages)
Then to install kdevelop, just run
sudo apt-get install kdevelop
You might also want to try beta plugins released with kdevelop…
Just install the plugins you need:
kdevelop-plugin-executebrowser kdevelop-plugin-executescript kdevelop-plugin-php kdevelop-plugin-php-docs kdevelop-plugin-xdebug
before installing them, if you installed kdevelop-php and kdevelop-phpdocs packages from my ppa you should remove them:
sudo apt-get purge kdevelop-php kdevelop-phpdocs
