Country:  |  Auto SVN updater Any chance of incorporating an Auto SVN updater? something along the lines of: - Checking the latest SVN release info and files - Compare to the current version running - Download and implement the updated files - Restart if necessary... Viola!  I have no idea if this is posible though - devs??  |

Country:   | it's been suggested before, but has been pointed out that there is a lot of band width involved and the adds that are displayed on the download pages just barely cover the costs. An auto system would take that revenue away. |

| Portal Tester  | Hi, This auto-updater isn't a good idea, one of the reason i have it's that SVN for time to time it's VERY broken & users will moan high & heavily on forum when this happens, sometimes it takes weeks to fix that & then especially when new stuff it's introduced. SVN it's for testing purpose & of course have bugs fixed in it(thats why we sometimes recommend users which reports bugs or problem to use it), we as testers usually download & install, but not every SVN it's tested when they are "baked" @ night many of us are in bed...... & that can make very nasty outcome to end-users & would not be fun @ all. SVN will NEVER be the same as a release, that has been tested & looked over & when installed clean shouldn't cause any harm to the system. SVN should be downloaded by they that need it or a curious about new stuff, but then from a page with lots of description like it is today  Regards Roy |
