I did not realize there are ready packages on some distributions out there. There isn't on Ubuntu at least (which is fixable of course). I also just now realize that qt-solutions.git has a maintained version of qtsingleapplication: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-solutions/qt-solutions.git/log/ qtsingleapplication I'd like to hear more opinions about whether there's still interest in having it in Qt proper. There are obviously advantages to it: CI coverage (qt- solutions.git isn't covered by CI, right?), and QtSA getting a bit of exposure so it does not feel like a, well, 3rdparty Qt solution. qt-solutions.git seems a place where deprecated components are kept alive, but not experiencing feature development in my book.
