Okay. Let's talk about integrating this into 2.0.
There are two options:
1. Integrating this in the core
2. Bundling the plugin with the default plugins
For that to happen, we have to check the plugin, go over the code for (security) flaws. For example, can we download the archive in a better way? Can something go wrong which could harm the blog (though we have no reports of that)?
There are also smaller issues, like the different interface design of the autoupdate-upgrader, which does not use the backend style (at least on my blog).

Thanks for pushing my issue into here!onli wrote:Okay. Let's talk about integrating this into 2.0.
I really would like to have this in core. This has been out and working some years by now and I never had and heard about problems. It is even more safe than Spartacus, since verifying the hash before install. For the 99% of all users this is a very neat and secure way of updating (*) and allows to keep all these blogs out there to keep in touch with Serendipity bugfix and feature upgrades easily. There are so many users out there trusting old S9y versions for years! (Which is an honour for S9y, but not the reality of software matters in general.
)To make this integration (plugin/core) accessible, we could add it to be enabled by option. Then any concerns should be solved.
About the upgrading process interface, I did this in a time, when 2.0 began to develop and I wanted to come close that look, without being 2.0 already and not to look like the old BP backend design. It was meant as a 'transition look & feel'. This surely should get adapted to the finished 2.0 design now.
Btw, I remember to have disabled the beta check in dashboard or autoupgrade, since we never had a beta and the beta check file wasn't nursed ... so I think we should reactivate this again for the upcoming 2.0-Beta phase.
