I wonder if you might want to add something like this to the Readme.txt file to illustrate how to install the Zend Gdata framework:

For latest Zend Gdata library see http://framework.zend.com/download/gdata
To install Zend Gdata:
cd sites/all/modules/Droogle
wget http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendGdata-1.11.11/ZendGdata-1.11.11.t...
tar -xzf ZendGdata-1.11.11.tar.gz ZendGdata-1.11.11/library/Zend
mv ZendGdata-1.11.11/library/Zend Zend
rm -r ZendGdata-1.11.11
rm ZendGdata-1.11.11.tar.gz

It may also be helpful to add mention on the project page that the Zend Gdata library is required and the url to find the latest download could be on the project page.

Of course the capital "D" will need to be dropped if the project directory name changes :-)

While the instructions in the opening comment of this issue are correct for the way the module is currently setup it may be worth noting it is difficult to extract a sub-directory using drush and drush_make. Unless I am ignorant of how to do that. So it might be helpful to consider simply extracting the Zend Gdata library into the module directory so that the structure is modules/Droogle/zend/library/Zend

This would require further changes to the module that might be an undue imposition on you and might not be favoured by others. I just mention it so it can be kicked around.

Thanks.

I appreciate your feedback and will try to make every attempt to support these thoughts, they are good ones. I just took over the jabber name space in drupal and am trying to get that module out the door as well (a business requirement at Babson). Others at Babson will be helping to support these modules and we'll try to keep up with these requests. I'm marking this as postponed until I can work on this. I need to learn a bit about drush make honestly and don't have time to tackle that right now -- although I hope to get to it soon! Thanks for all the feedback.
