I use drupal for a long time and performed several upgrades. I just think would it be better to automate update using some "check for update" button.
Is it too lame?
Frankly, I think it is pretty lame. If people want a package system they should a Linux distro for which drupal is available as a package.
Also each time I need to rewrite conf.php file after untarring archive which is not handy.
You should have renamed it to your.site.com.php. :)
Since this info doesn't change during upgrades I propose to rename conf.php to config.php and store there persistent information which will not be rewritten by installing a new source.
conf.php is now named settings.php and lives in sites/your.site.com/ directory.
The support list is the wrong place for feature requests. Use the issue tracker instead.
