Security update push system

[leah]

A good blogging system will have a way to push updates (or encourage users to update) with minimal disruption to their blog. This feature should allow for both feature and security updates. Design TBD.

Realistically, let’s think about how this can play out.

A) User installed via pip

pip —upgrade mightylemon

B) User installed via archive

cd /path/to/mightylemon
wget http://mightylemon.com/ml.zip
unzip ml.zip

C) User installed via VCS

cd /path/to/mightylemon
(vcs update command)

What these don’t take into account: schema changes, local changes to the project (templates, etc), etc. I think we need to set expectations on what an update really entails. Is it clicking a button and its updated? Is it running a script? If we know what our ideal solution is, we can perhaps work towards it a bit better.
