Upgrade Status » package name [#1202166]

hey

please add "Administration" package group to the info file (package = Administration)

this is not entirely correct as per Drupal standards, but please think of the admins ;)
it's really annoying to have 50-100 modules in the "Other" fieldset/tab.

many modules follow similar approach (other administration, permission and caching/performance modules) to help admins

Not sure whether Administration is correct. Just because the module does not provide end-user-facing functionality, it doesn't mean that it's an administrative feature.

Would like to see some feedback from others on this.

good point,

some modules that affect the Modules page are using "Administration"
and some that add permissions are using "Permissions"
the ones that affect the Permissions page AFAIKdon't have a package yet, but i haven't checked for ages.

Util module, which adds tweaks to many admin pages, uses Util for all it's submodules.

Quoting @davereid:

We need a unified and automatic way of adding taxonomy to .info files via the packaging system - not doing it directly in info files by abusing an existing method
