Hi,
to help updating a Drupal site from a CLI/script, it would be nice if the Update Status module could have the option to store a list of the module names that are available for updating in a text file.
In Update Status, Settings tab, a user would be able to:
1. Enter the directory name and file name in a text field, ie: /tmp/updatemodules.txt
2. a set of radio buttons that selects the class of module name exports, ie: (*) Security () All new modules
This would make it easier for a script to pick up a list of module names that need updating and auto download them from drupal.org and place them in the sites/all/modules/ directory. I have written a simple script that updates any tar file found in the modules directory.
The only other thing I am missing is a mechanism of auto running update.php for each of my multi-sites (single Drupal filesystem, multi MySQL databases). See my issue regarding this:
Cheers,
Paul
