Create a selfupdate option to upgrade to new versions #21

Closed rambalachandran closed 2 years ago

rambalachandran commented 2 years ago

It would be useful to implement a selfupdate option (similar to rclone selfupdate) even for the beta releases. This will help us to periodically check and upgrade the tool rather than having to check the github.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Self update is super useful but also fraught with security concerns. To do it right, you need to set up a way to verify (including digital signatures) the update before applying. And especially with syncrclone still technically being "beta", I am pretty hesitant.

I could just make a command that calls the pip ... but that will always assume you installed with that method.

Overall, while I appreciate the suggestion, it's not really the scope I want to accept on a (limited) hobby project.

Thanks again!

Well, keep the issue open if you like and hopefully it can be addressed in the future.

I am going to close this. I am not interested in the feature at the time. Thanks for the suggestion
