I didn't mean a background update. I meant the user could get a dialog or
notification asking them to update, and if they press "yes" they can
enter their
root password and the app can update itself and restart.
and you marry upstream binaries with the distribution update-manager how?

How does KDE have different dependencies for different distros? (To be
honest
though, I only mentioned this method because I thought having multiple
options
would advertise the idea in the second method)
in the way that distributions have different library versions
if you don't care for security
The security risk is very small, and it can be fixed in a lot of
different ways. The
app could create a folder that only root can access within the /tmp
folder. If even
that's not secure enough, the app could create source files with just
"#define MAIN_CPP_SOURCE" and compile with "-DMAIN_CPP_SOURCE=[the
source code] so that it never has to be stored on the disk before being
compiled.

I don't think I've ever used one that /doesn't/ come with at least gcc
installed
i didn't see a defualt install for a long time but have a compiler on
99,9% of all systems is useless bloatware
I've tried Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE. Now that I think about
it though,
they don't come with g++ installed, and they definitely don't come with
Qt headers
installed, but they don't take that much space
more space than some of my systems at a whole
It didn't take me 10 minutes to answer these questions in my head, so I
don't
see why you're trying to scrap the idea so quickly for its faults
instead of trying
to fix them. A bit of constructive criticism would be nice
a little bit of more realistic view for such nosense would be nice too
if anything you propose would become real i had to switch away from KDE
