Larry, There is the awesome Git Deploy module that will go out and interface with git meta data and update.drupal.org to determine the correct version information for any module checked out directly from Git. I'm 90% sure that it doesn't even require the git binary to be installed, just a PHP library to access/read git data. http://drupal.org/project/git_deploy -Mike larry@garfieldtech.com wrote:
Unless there's something new in the packager I've not seen yet, using d.o pulls in production bypasses the packager. That is, you're then missing:
- The full version information in the info file, which is used by update manager. - The License.TXT file that every module is supposed to have.
Is that no longer the case? I'm pretty sure both of those still only happen with a tarball, so if you want those (and I do) then you need to use a tarball.
