it would be nice if there would be a update button in the upcomming versions of xbmc...
...but i dont know if u would do it because of your understandable *download*rules :(
This wouldn't be such a bad idea.
I would like to see a update option where you can point where the updated files of XBMC are located via SMB for example. And begin to synchronize the files after updating.
The question will be, should this option be hard coded in XBMC or can this be done using a python script?

This has been suggested before (and if unless the forum software is messing with me, this short thread is actually 2 years old :-)) and it would be relatively easy to do both from within xbmc and through a python script.
However, it would require some level of configuration by the user (IP of samba server, path to xbmc build, etc) and at some point you have to ask yourself how much is gained by this vs. simply copying the new xbmc version over yourself through the existing Files section. That's how I upgrade now, and it's a quick and painless operation.
