1. Everything is (or should be planned as) a distribution! Bryan Ollendyke @btopro

4. Agenda What is a distribution vs Install profile Why you need Profiler Builder Ways to manage lots of profiles / distributions Turning a site into a profile Random examples Q&A

5. Skip ahead http://elmsln.org – All things ELMS Learning Network – Shameless plug http://drupal.psu.edu/ – lots of great articles – Shameless plug for PSU’s community https://drupal.org/project/drupalorg_drush http://drupal.org/project/profiler_builder http://drupal.org/project/dslm http://drupal.org/project/galaxy (you all have devices)

6. How can I play?

7. What is an install profile? Drupal Flavor / install routine Enable these modules Use this theme Run this php What can I include? Custom modules / features Custom themes Custom libraries

8. install profile

9. What is a Distribution Drush / “Make” files This defines everything that should be downloaded Install profile And all the stuff in it Contrib Modules Contrib Themes Libraries From d.o. and non-d.o. sources Patches

10. Distribution

11. Distributions on d.o Everything must be GPL v2 Leads to licensing hell External libraries this can be problematic External libraries must clear a “packaging whitelist” Some modules include.make files (which it spiders) I package everything on github nicely Drupal.org there’s manual work to run my distros

12. Think of every site as a new distribution

13. {what the last talk was saying!} Name space everything

14. View displays / pages / feeds Feeds Feature names Field names context / panel names ANY machine names of any kind!

15. Profiler Builder https://drupal.org/project/profiler_builder

16. Profiler Builder Build out site, then make it a profile Looks at what’s enabled and creates install profile Reverts all enabled features automatically Robust API for adding and excluding items from builds Sniffs out patches / libraries and auto adds them to make files! Produces multiple make files Make file, make file specific to d.o., make file for local development Drush support Cooks, cleans and spit shines your shoes

17. Also.. Profiler Builder Always get dev

18. Ways to manage lots of profiles / distributions

19. DSLM http://drupal.org/project/dslm Drush Sym-link manager Alternate method of – Multisite management – Install profile management Support for multiple versions of Drupal (minor and major)

21. Galaxy “A Distribution of Distributions” - @nicxvan DSLM for multiple Drupal “Stacks” in same package – APC optimization Cleaner devops to repo management when lots of repos involved Structure similar to D8 – core directory you no touch! Symlinks help abstract config from code Supports more then just Drupal
