Hey Pedro.
IMHO, autoupdates of that sort are not a good idea. Why not
sync your projects
against a local version of the latest Smarty that you either
download, sync
against CVS or mirror from the Smarty website? If the
latter, you can always
pick the most recent file or find the most recent version of
by using
version_compare(). That said, I tend towards the former:
syncing against a
single version that you manually download/install.
Finally, do all the sites really need local copies of
Smarty? Why not put
Smarty in a path accessible to all the various sites?
kind regards,
boots
