Imagine:

drupal update
drupal dist-upgrade

Some might say one-click update in recent version of WordPress is risky but usability-wise, it’s damn cool feature. While Drupaller still need to download tarball, FTP/SSH and run the update script, WordPress user just click and… BOOM.

Well, (hopefully) not anymore. Drupal 7 would have something similar:

• Updating modules and themes in Drupal 7
• Plugin Manager in Core

Few excerpt:

We’re trying to provide a way that users can get the same user friendliness of a package manager like Synaptic. Where updates and new installs are just a few clicks, no geek gadget belt.

Very promising!
