Description Kris Buytaert 2010-01-05 22:44:47 UTC
EPEL still contains Drupal 5, which is kind of obsolete.

Not a single Drupal Site is being build on it today so deploying a webserver with a Drupal package always requires either installing Drupal6 as a tar ball , or using an external repository for Drupal6 rpms.


Drupal 6 , has been out for ages now and Drupal 7 is around the corner.

All (or most of the) relevant Drupal 5 modules have been ported to Drupal 6 in the meanwhile and there are various Drupal code migration tools around to migrate existing Drupal 5 modules to Drupal 6.

I second the motion.  I'm getting some pressure from my clients to get Drupal 6 installed on their systems.  I'd rather keep it in channel than to do a clean install from scratch.

Comment 2 John Calderwood 2010-01-13 18:32:43 UTC
I like to use versions in EPEL whenever possible, but I won't start a new website on a soon to be discontinued Drupal version either.  I imagine 2010 will be when Drupal 5 is discontinued.

Patch to make drupal6 package

Jon - it should be pretty easy to have a parallel installable drupal6 package.  The attached patch pretty much does it I think.  The only difference between the current Fedora devel package would be the name.  Any reason why we can't submit this as an EPEL only package?

Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2010-03-02 14:16:47 UTC
It does.  I'll try to get a review together soon.

Comment 5 Gwyn Ciesla 2010-03-02 14:57:57 UTC
Added review, set it to block this bug.
