I've created an info file so that the v5 modules module finds the module to display for the administrator as specified in http://drupal.org/node/64279. Please find globalredirect.info attached.

Excelent - I'll review this when I get a chance and commit it. I haven't had a chance to try it in Drupal 5.0 yet!

Updating my original file to include the version info as has been suggested at http://drupal.org/node/87298.

remove the package = "Global Redirect"
per http://drupal.org/node/101009

there is no reason to start a package for a single module...

Cheers - I'll add this into the next release. Is there any potential issues with including this in a 4.7 release too? (I'm still new to CVS so its quite likely it'll take me a few released to get this right)

As long as you don't change your hook_help implementation delivering the .info file in 4.7 is just a file type Drupal doesn't know about and so ignores it. In 5.0 the meta data for the module display all comes from the .info file and the data from the hook_help is ignored. At least I think that is what happens. For all I know .info may have been introduced in 4.7 and enforced in 5.0 but either way it should be a file that is deliverable in 4.7.

I seem to have lost permissions to download the info files! Lol... Oh well they aren't hard to make yourself...

Yeah... I've just used this successfully...

; $Id$
name = Global Redirect
description = Prevents duplicate pages by checking for page aliases

I suspect this will break releasemonitor.module if you're using that, but I wouldn't expect this "problem" to last for that long anyway.

Mind you, what's with the permissions on the patches??

That must be new. I tested the .info file before submitting it.

Yes, it is different. BTW, something I learned along the way is that you should quote all the strings in the info file. It helps PHP to parse it more correctly.

As far as I can see - the info file is now included with V5.x releases.
