Howdy, I'm trying to create a port for Drupal's Import HTML module and have got it mostly done. I have been using the drupal-textile port as a guide. The Drupal best practices for file and directory management suggest that user installed modules be installed in a sub-directory of the modules directory (see http://drupal.org/node/22283), however the drupal-textile port drops the textile.module file into the Drupal modules directory. Why have you chosen to do it this way? The reason that I ask is that it seems to me that the Drupal modules directory will get awfully full of files and runs the risk of two modules installing files of the same name over each other. (I have a simple patch to bsd.drupal.mk that will automatically install Drupal modules in their own subdirectory - it deletes the contents of the directory but not the directory itself when the port is uninstalled). I have a couple more Drupal modules that I'd like to get into the ports system. Should I submit the patch or just drop everything in the Drupal modules directory? Could you please let me know how you'd like me to proceed? Regards...Geoff -- Geoff Glasson g_glasson@jimali.dyndns.org MSN: g_glasson@wiredcity.com.au
