Best way to update this profile

Yeah, I'm also wondering this...

After installing DC kickstart, all the modules were installed in the profile directory.
I moved all modules to their normal place (sites/all/modules/) so now I can use Drush to update the modules.

We'll need to figure that out... I'd like to be able to direct the distribution to put component modules in sites/all/modules, but I don't know if I can do that. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to setup your Drupal directory how you need it to be and then just use the installation profile standalone (i.e. without drush make or a full distrubition).

I did a complete installation with Drush and copied the modules to there place-to-be (sites/all/modules).
Even with the little copie-thing, Drush is super quick.

Ok, great. And right now drush should be pulling modules from their Git repositories... so as long as you have Git installed, you should be able to go to the module's directory and type "git pull" to update to the latest version of the code (and then "git checkout [tag-name]" to checkout a specific release by tag).

I did a complete installation with Drush and copied the modules to there place-to-be (sites/all/modules).

"copy" or "move"? I'm guessing you meant move.

Just want to double check...

Can I move all the modules contained within;

profiles/commerce_kickstart/modules/commerce_kickstart

AND

profiles/commerce_kickstart/modules/contrib

to

sites/all/modules

...without destroying the site?

Presumably placing them in this directory will allow Drupal to detect new updates etc.?

Cheers,

Nope, there's no reason to move them. Just keep up to date w/ Kickstart updates.
