It doesn't permit deleting files, one of the things I am looking at is an upgrade in 1.6 might remove old files but only if they have been explicitly stated (e.g. files installed using a 'folder' tag would be ignored as there is no way we can easily determine which files were there without recording them somewhere, perhaps that will be 1.7).

I just recently discovered the method="upgrade"-feature. Lots of developers are not using this, and neither the possibility to install multiple extensions with one install. Could you tell a bit more about how the method="upgrade"-feature works? Does it only allow for file overwrites, or does it delete obsolete files as well? Best regards, Torkil Cheers!
