Maybe this should be coupled with something I talked with Kieran about last friday, help in separate human-readable files instead of PHP. The other option of course is making .install files for core modules, but I think thats less doable. http://lists.drupal.org/archives/development/2006-02/msg00460.html
pretty good summary The 2 things I am working on is the dependency system, which introduces meta-information for all of the modules / themes / blah. And then there's the changes for the db api, namely db_create_table, and db_add_column etc. functions. Along with individual module directories and install files, this _could_ drastically improve how much maintenance db schema's and the like take. Additionally, it makes all our distributions the same. When we build install profiles, they will just happen to ship with a different set of directories. -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com
