Not sure it’s a good idea to provide multiple convenience code copies in many places, but I may be missing something obvious. > My next suggestion would be to convert the bits that aren't in Qt proper into > proper libraries and use them and package them as such. My intent, while taking over this ITP, is simply to provide qtsingleapplication as a start (as needed by sankore, #775456). If other modules are worth packaging/sharing, it should be pretty easy to enlarge the build process for them. I’ll soon push a repository in alioth as debian-edu/pkg-team/qt-solutions.git, but don’t mind moving it to collab-maint or anywhere people wish once other modules are wanted. > The things that might be reasonable as actual libraries would be > - qtsoap (even though it is a quite bad soap implementation) > - qtsingleapplication > - qtcolor* > - qtpiemenu > - qtmmlwidget > - qtiocompressor > - qtservice > - qtlockedfile > > But it requires work to get these to a standard where they are worth using as > libraries.
