I did a bit of searching and found this thread on the topic but it’s specific to XML files, and so the answer makes sense (/etc/) for XML files.

In my case, I’m actually storing a txt file, which happens to be an SVN version number that I dumped out within my modman script.

The place that I’m using this is within a frontend model (Blocks/System/Html.php) which outputs the version number within the module config. So I went with the Blocks/System/ directory for now – the filename is Version.txt – but it feels like there should be a better place to put this.

    I ran into the same kind of problem when developing a shipping module. I had a bunch of CSV files that contained maximum weight / delivery cost mappings. For what it’s worth, I created a data/ directory at the module level and threw everything in there.

    I don’t think this kind of situation doesn’t happens often enough in the Magento codebase for there to be an established convention. As long as you use sensible naming, and provide a level of abstraction to cope with any change of file location in the future, I’d say put it in any folder at your module’s root.
