Install profile shows 0 installs on drupal.org
The Drutopia project on drupal.org doesn't show any installs, while other Drutopia projects such as Drutopia Core have at least small numbers.
This situation seems to result from the following:
- The version of the Drutopia install profile that's packaged by our templates, such as
drutopia_template
anddrutopia_dev_template
is not a drupal.org stable release. For example, thedrutopia.info.yml
file does not have the additional information added by drupal.org's packaging scripts. - Probably as a result, the when a site installed with one of these templates fetches available update information for drupal.org, the install profile is not included in that query.
- Since install statistics are based on data posted to the update server, Drutopia doesn't show up.
For drutopia_dev_template
, it's appropriate that we get a git clone of the install profile rather than a stable release and that consequently the instance not show up in install statistics. However, for drutopia_template
, we want a stable release.
Currently in the drutopia_template
composer.json
file in we're using a custom composer package for the Drutopia install profile, drutopia/drutopia
, rather than the standard drupal/drutopia
, which presumably is why we're not getting the drupal.org stable release.
We could potentially address this problem one of two ways:
- Switch to using the drupal.org stable release.
- Add our own information to the
drutopia.info.yml
file for each stable release, emulating what's added by drupal.org's packaging scripts.
