Is there an easy way to make a qt application updateable? I would love to have a button that says, "check for updates" and then have it be able to download the latest version, install over the previous version and relaunch it.

Where's the problem? You have to download the new exe of your program to a temporary filename, launch another tool which renames your two files and starts the new one.
You can't overwrite a running program!

I was just wondering if there is some special way to integrate with sourceforge or google code or whereever a project's code might be hosted, so updating and issue tracking or bug reporting can be streamlined.
