DOes anyone remember that conversation or maybe knows which module she is referring to? Find her question below…but this is a good segue into this month's Drupal telecon on Oct. 22nd, so stay tuned for the announcement!

I know there is the built in thing, but I still have to do the core by hand.  I have a website (the GEIA website) that I sort of manage, and I would really like to have an easier way to keep all of the modules and the core updated.  Do you by any chance know anything about this?  Or do you have a way that you use to keep things relatively simple?  It’s just a little nerve wracking when I do the core updates because I’m always in a hurry, and I’m worried I’ll hose up the backup or something and something will go wrong and I won’t be able to get it back properly…
