Looks nice, but it is *not* a real Drupal distro.
It is using db dump file to setup the site, which is not acceptable.
We are happy to add it when it will be done properly.

Hey guys! We just released OpenDeals alpha4 (http://drupal.org/project/opendeals). It now follows Drupal standards for installation profiles. We do not use mysql dump anymore :)
So i think it would be great if you could provide support for OpenDeals too.
You should either include all required modules or clearly list all of them as a requirements, otherwise in confuses people with errors like here: https://gist.github.com/1398121 - see "Required modules: Required modules not found." error there.
Of course we could add them in Octopus, but I believe it is maintainer's job to either provide a list of required modules (with supported versions) or bundle them with the install profile.
We tried to update a few modules, but for some reason drush mup hangs, plus the security upgrade for Views 7.x-3.0-rc3 breaks the default homepage, so for now it comes with just newer core 7.10 and it works just fine.

omega8cc commentedThis (adding the distro support) needs work.

omega8cc commentedIt seems the install profile (or its documentation) is not complete: http://o1.linode.us.host8.biz/opendeals-7.x-1.0-alpha4.tar.gz

yannisc commentedomega8cc, everything needed for the Open Deals installation is included in the zip file. Try this zip: http://www.opendealsapp.com/releases/opendeals-7.x-1.0-alpha4.zip

omega8cc commentedHmm, it seems we downloaded it from http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/opendeals-7.x-1.0-alpha4.tar.gz
It is rather confusing - why your download link on http://www.opendealsapp.com goes to http://drupal.org/project/opendeals while the real distro is hosted on your own server anyway?
We will try http://www.opendealsapp.com/releases/opendeals-7.x-1.0-alpha4.zip
