i posted this in uservoice years ago but oxwall sore fit to remove it
owall cron fire off to the oxwall site for update core and plugins
now if the site fire off it version 1.8
then reply should be just platform update
and all updated plugin that are marked as 1,8,1 are blocked
from going to the sites admin panel
site is updated site fires off it version 1.8.1
it then lets the updated plugins for 1.8.1 list as being able to update in admin panel
so simple and 95% of its already there
10 minutes and the huge mess that every one gets them selves into on every platform update will be fixed no more problems
and pore ross will not be get smashed by so many things that he should not have to deal with
