Drupal Update Manager

Submitted by mk on 10 June, 2009 - 22:02

Imagine:

drupal update<br/> drupal dist-upgrade

Some might say one-click update in recent version of WordPress is risky but usability-wise, it's damn cool feature. While Drupaller still need to download tarball, FTP/SSH and run the update script, WordPress user just click and... BOOM.

Well, (hopefully) not anymore. Drupal 7 would have something similar:

Few excerpt:

We’re trying to provide a way that users can get the same user friendliness of a package manager like Synaptic. Where updates and new installs are just a few clicks, no geek gadget belt.

Very promising!

it would be cool to have something like that. ^ ^ turning all modules off in D6 is a nightmare.

This would pretty good for Drupal and about time that there is a mechanism for something as important as keeping the project up to date and patched up.
They are learning about post launch process.

Why not use drush now? works with 5, 6, or 7 branch of Drupal. I'm loving it.

It really is just

> drush update

(although currently it can't update your drupal distribution yet, only modules and themes, it's still darn convenient. I just updated 20 contrib modules with that in one go)

Of course, it's a good feature to add, no doubt. I'll be happy to have just one button to click to update everything to latest releases too. I referred to drush because it's available now, and also do other useful stuffs, e.g. simulation mode.
