I've written about my personal approach in the past: http://www.dave-cohen.com/node/1779. I use hook_form_alter so the update.php form always executes on of my update_x hooks. And that hook imports a file with the latest database changes. I wrote about it here at the time, and received a lot of "you should never use hook_form_alter in your .install file" comments. But I do it anyway. So I agree that a solution should be able to apply changes during update.php. -Dave On Saturday 09 August 2008, Adrian Rossouw wrote:
One of the things I would like to see in deploy , or any system we end up using, is the ability to generate a module with a .install file for the configuration info in install and update_x hooks.
