As regards to named_colors.txt - shouldn't it be placed in the data folder?

It's a bit vauge here - I've never really used the data directory, for something like this, it adds unnecessary complexity, for things like .js or .html files that are need indirectly for a package, it makes sense (as you probably need to stick your data dir somewhere available to apache), but something that is tied in intrisically it's a bit messy to try and find out where the file is, then parse it.

we also defined a misc dir a while back .. dunno if that is even handled by the installer though

Nope. Finding the data stuff isn't difficult, use a replacement. <file name="named_colors.txt" role="data"/> <file name="filethatusesit.php" role="php> <replace from="@data-dir@" to="data_dir" type="pear-config"/> </file> and in filethatusesit.php, <?php // ... $namedcolorslocation = '@data-dir@/named_colors.txt'; $fp = fopen($namedcolorslocation); ?> and so on.
