I did not mean at the web2py level. I was thinking for this: allow your repository to sync with web2py app hosted on launchpad/ bitbucket/github/googlecode. nightly the repository would check if a new revision is present and check it out and always host the most updated version. This is before the app gets downloaded by a user and installed and before there is any data in it.
