Answer 1

just push it in your project's lib/vendor/symfony dir and update you ProjectConfiguration.class.php like this

<?php

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../lib/vendor/symfony/lib/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php';
sfCoreAutoload::register();

class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
{
  public function setup()  
  {
       [...]Normal setup plugins, etc.
  }
}

If you use SVN for managing your project source, using an external source to grab symfony is generaly advised, it will enlight your repository and allow easy updates.

Answer 2

Use the project:deploy task that Symfony provides. Add configuration details for your host into config/properties.ini and then you can call something like

./symfony project:deploy myhostconfig [--go]

Running without the --go flag will do a dry run without uploading any files. If you're using Symfony 1.3+, add in the -t flag which will show you what files are due to be uploaded etc.

More info on this is in the Symfony docs for deployment.
