Re: Re: XML ver feed - updated

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
