Update of created projects

I post here because talking with SC people is almost impossible… :mad:

I have the problem to automate the distribution of upgrades for my application created with SC.
The application is standard and there are many ( i hope more ) customers who need to be updates with new releases. Sometimes updates also affects the database schema and/or external libraries.
I would like to have an approach similar to SC when upgrading sc8:

  • alert message for updates available at login
  • check for upgrades
  • download
  • apply

Actually i’m using “rsync” because of my “unix” background…
Anyone interested to suggest some different approach ( i.e. using PHP )?

What do you do?

Thanks for your attention.

I have a textfile with the necessary data stored on my website. The application will open this and if needed a message is displayed. The application will then do the download. All standard php. Downloader is in a control app.
