Is it possible to update vim plugins automatically?

A:
This vim plugin seems to do what you are after, though it hasn't been updated in a while. Never used it, but the author has written a "few" vim plugins in the past.

Used it, and although probably it can be made to work, I've personally categorized it under "asking for trouble".

Maybe newer versions work better though ...

Tested it with a few vim plugins. Works great for me! Thanks for the tip. (I had tested this plugin some years ago... without any success...)

My operating systems (Archlinux) has a bunch of packages containing vim plugins. Look into you OS for similar packages.

A:
If the plugin versioned in git, for example, you can pathogen and put the plugin in another dir. Then to update is only a command.
A:
I prefer a bash script. Then you can have it set as a cronjob, and you don't depend on other scripts supporting the ability to update.
