So, what do you think?
i hope you don't take this personally, by i'm *very* opposed to the kind of system you're building.
the security implications of giving your website permission to overwrite itself automatically are *HORRIFYING*. i'd never install such a thing, and i'd never advocate anyone else should install such a thing.
The underlying idea is so silly I'd not want us to host the resulting code on drupal.org.
the kind of system i'm building is just an automated way to tell the human site admins: "your code is out of date" (and if true, "and insecure") and nag them mercilessly until they upgrade the stale module(s) to the latest, secure version(s). it's still the human's task to perform the upgrade itself.
That's a nice thing and very useful. Do you plan to check if a module has been altered after download, too? Cheers, Gerhard
