This thread seems to be of the mind that perhaps the module should always be
zipped and not expanded on disk.
I believe that was Eeli's feeling. My feeling, and it sounds like the
feeling of several others is that the actual representation on the
server's end is less important to the application developer than
having the install manager in the library handle all the different URL
protocols invisibly to the application developer.
Actually that wasn't my feeling. The local installed files should be in
whatever format is best for searching, reading etc. I had two main
thoughts: installation from local zip files should be supported, and
http were easiest to support if http repo had a simple flat directory
stucture with zip files. If these two are combined, installation from a
http server would be easy to implement: just download the combined .conf
file, then download .zip files to a local temp location and install
from them. No need to support any arbitrary remote directory structure.
