Hello, I haven't done anything with web2py in quite a while, but am still curious. I keep skulking back to check on things. I am quite interested in the "built-in" authentication you have added to the "welcome" scaffolding package. Problem is when I update my version of web2py (using sources on Windows with Python 2.5.4) the default applications are never updated. Even when I totally remove them from the file-system, web2py still says the "the default applications appear to be installed already".
Why is that? 'python web2py.py --upgrade=YES' does not do it either. In the latest round v1.62.1 with the new packaging -- nothing happened at all. I was only after I changed all their names from ".w2p" to ".tar.gz" and extracted them manually into their directories did I get back their functionality. OOPS! -- Web2Py Manual, Page 76: "*Application files are stored as tar files but you are not supposed to tar or untar them manually, WEB2PY does it for you.*" Couldn't prove it by me!!! How are these applications *supposed* to be upgraded??? thanks......
