Drupal 7 has a nice and comfortable feature of looking for upgrades for all installed modules, warning about new releases. However, in some special cases (notably, for custom modules developed in-house) there is no place Drupal could visit to learn about upgrades and new versions, consequently, the upgrade report page will be cluttered with not available warnings.
The system has partly catered for this by introducing the project status url
entry in the module .info
file (see http://drupal.org/node/542202). However, unless you have something at the URL specified that can report the module status, you will continue to see error messages in the report page.
This very simple module offers a solution to this. By introducing a common URL for all similar modules on a site (http://www.example.com/projects/[module]/[core]), it is able to provide a kind of a fake report to Drupal for all these modules, always reporting back that they are completely up-to-date. Simply use this link in your .info file, eg:
project status url = http://www.example.com/projects
and the module will always report as up-to-date.
