In your upgrade notes for 6.x-3.0-rc1 you state the following:

Important upgrade note: The "FileField Token" module has been merged back into FileField so that it is no longer a separate module. When upgrading, delete the filefield_token directory entirely. All the functionality of filefield_token is now included in filefield.token.inc.; but the ony place where I can see filefield.token.inc. is inside filefield_token!!!

So if I download 6.x-3.0-rc1 untar it, and see the new contents of it , there is a directory called filefield_token; should I delete this directory?, if so why is it there in the first place ?

Should I delete the filefield_token in sites/all/modules/filefield/filefield_token ?; makes no sense since in order to update filefield module I have to delete the entire sites/all/modules/filefield directory

Should I delete it after upgrading and after doing update.php ?

Please clarify which, where and when When upgrading, delete the filefield_token directory entirely

The filefield.token.inc file is in the root of the the FileField install.

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/filefield/?...

The correct upgrade process is:
- Delete the old module directory
- Upload the new modules directory
- Run update.php

I think the instructions are quite clear. See #421220: Cannot redeclare filefield_token_list().

So if I download 6.x-3.0-rc1 untar it, and see the new contents of it , there is a directory called filefield_token

There is not. You probably untarred the new copy over the old one, which doesn't delete old files, it merges the two.

For some reason when downloading from the Available updates page in my Drupal admin page,
the 6.x-3.0-rc1 was downloading a version that did not have in the root directory the filefield.token.inc file and did have the
filefield_token dir on it!!!

I tried again and all is fixed seems there might have been a problem with caches holding an old version, weird....

thanks a lot
