Why any of these at all? why not a simple hook_info or hook_help in the .install?
Because, unlike modules, the code for an .install is nearly *always* growing. Whereas modules may lose functions or become tighter code, .install files MUST, for legacy reasons, keep all the data changes around. Any gains we get by using .install files in admin/modules would be utterly destroyed if we had to load system.install (which would contain all of the current/legacy updates.inc in my proposal). -- Morbus Iff ( you are nothing without your robot car, NOTHING! ) Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ O'Reilly Author, Weblog, Cook: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus
