[fw-mvc] Suggestion: Zend Installer

Hi all,

I am sitting here uploading the new 1.10.0 version of ZF. The process
goes like this:

I have three separate servers I have to upload the new version to, so
I download the zip file, unpack it, and upload the new version to the
servers. It takes about 20 minutes or more for each one, so I lose
about an hour of work time to the upload process, and well as the hit
on my bandwidth while it's uploading.

It would be wonderful if there was a Zend package called
Zend_Installer(?) that could be configured with the location of the
temp directory where the file would be downloaded, and the
installation directory on the server, and would then just use the web
server itself to download the new version, install it to the
previously configured location and that's it. It could handle any
common compression format. I don't know if such functionality runs
against ZF's design paradigm but it would sure make the upgrading
process much simpler and less time consuming. It wouldn't necessarily
need to have a browser frontend (think PEAR); such could be left up to
the developer to create.

Any thoughts?
