I always find it a pain to update a remote Concrete install, because FTP adds so much overhead to each file. If Concrete were one large file it wouldn't be an issue, but it's because it's 2000+ small files that it takes so long.
I was wondering if anyone had a remote unzip script? It would be sweet if there were a way to upload a Concrete.zip file and an unzip.php file, then call the unzip script from my browser and have it handle it all on the server side. That could probably be much faster than the current process.
yeah, I've got my own installer.. Doesn't install the core themes, adds an "empty" theme, asks you which blocks you want to install and does all that out of a bz2 file.
It won't work on most servers as I'm using some command line tools to speed up things.
But it would be pretty easy to do this with "ZipArchive" or pclzip.
It might be nice to make such a "distribution" official...? I'd sure be helping out with some code.
