First of all, thank you so much for publicly publishing code and make files at a place such as DO - this certainly adds to my excitement for OpenPublic. Unfortunately, an issue I had with beta 1 is still present with beta 2.

Problem/Motivation

When I attempt to add a nodequeue, I am presented with the following error on a white screen:
The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

When trying to identify the problem, I noticed that OpenPublish beta2 is using Nodequeue 7.x-2.0-alpha1, but an alpha2 was released on May 20th with 30 some bugfixes.

Few others such as context and twitter pull also have updates that are a several months old and there are more modules that have updates around the same time as the OpenPublish beta2 release.

Question

It is just the several month old releases that raise my eyebrow. Are there incompatibility issues with the more recent versions of nodequeue, context, and twitter pull?

If I wanted to test a patch to openpublic.make, would i just create my own build-openpublic.make and change the source to the last line to my patched openpublic.make? Can you provide an example of this?

thanks again and best regards, tom

You should be able to update any modules for your distribution.

Do you still have a question about your make file?

Well, a remark:

it is kind of useless to not update the version number of Drupal in 7.x-1.0.4 - this is from July, 13th, so Drupal 7.14 is the actual version, not 7.12 - or is this intensional - what i can not decide, because of many patches included. So i would have to go through all issues and check all patches myself, what is a waste of time, if every user of the distribution does this.

One example for an old patch:
in drupal-org-core.make
projects[drupal][patch][] = http://drupal.org/files/issues/object_conversion_menu_router_build-97253...
(this patch is from comment #1 of the issue)

if you look in the issue queue:
http://drupal.org/node/972536

there are a bunch of patches and the last patch (for D7) is in the moment in comment #83

this was the first patch of
drupal-org-core.make with 1.7 kb,
drupal-org.make has 7.0 kb - so i quit here and try another distribution.

My expectations against a distribution are

- that at least it uses the actual drupal distribution (one digit to change)
- monitors the issues, from which it pulls patches - and uses the most appropriate patch (i doubt with 82 comments behind for one example issue)

if i have do all this myself then the distribution is no longer a timesaver.
