drush make file gets alpha2 version

See the README file for instructions. Also note that the git repo has been moved to drupal.org

In case the README isn't up to date yet, here is the latest I'm using:

core = "7.x"
api = 2

projects[drupal][type] = core
projects[drupal][version] = "7.10"

projects[openenterprise][type] = profile
projects[openenterprise][download][type] = git
projects[openenterprise][download][url] = http://git.drupal.org/project/openenterprise.git
projects[openenterprise][download][revision] = DRUPAL-7--1-0-BETA3

That .make file in #2 no longer works. The git.drupal.org URL is no longer valid, or else drush make is failing for some other reason (it says “Unable to clone openenterprise from http://git.drupal.org/project/openenterprise.git.     [error]”

I thought at first that it was because the version requested wasn’t the latest one and the only recommended one (other that “-dev”) available at the repository. So, I edited the .make file to update for both Drupal 7.12 and OpenEnterprise 7.x-1.0-beta7:

core = "7.x"
api = 2

projects[drupal][type] = core
projects[drupal][version] = "7.12"

projects[openenterprise][type] = profile
projects[openenterprise][download][type] = git
projects[openenterprise][download][url] = http://git.drupal.org/project/openenterprise.git
projects[openenterprise][download][revision] = DRUPAL-7--1-0-BETA7

My drush-make command (from within the drupal installation directory):
~/drush/drush make --no-core --contrib-destination=. ../openenterprise.make

But I still get the error, even with the .make file updated as above.

I can’t even use ~/drush/drush dl openenterprise --destination=./profiles to get it! That generates this error:

Project openenterprise (7.x-1.0-beta7) could not be downloaded to      [error]
…/drupal/profiles/openenterprise.

And yes, the directory “./drupal/profiles/” does exist, and is user-writable. I’m able to download other projects with “drush dl” just fine (it’s how I got the Drupal 7.12 core, in fact).

(Using Drush 5.1)

I first noticed this problem within the last week (before it worked with drush)
drush dl openenterprise
fails with the message "Project openenterprise (7.x-1.0-beta7) could not be downloaded to..."

Just to be clear, for example, this works fine
drush dl commons --destination=./profiles
drush dl openenterprise --destination=./profiles

(of course in the meanwhile, you can always just download the tar.gz)

@August1914 #5, are you saying that I have to drush dl commons first? Why would that be? Or are you saying that specifying “--destionation=./profiles” (which I did — see my post above) is the key? I did add “--select” but I always do that so that I’m sure I didn’t mistype the project name. If it comes back with a list of available versions (which it did), I know I got it right.

The entire sequence:

[…]# ~/drush/drush dl openenterprise --select --destination=./profiles
Choose one of the available releases for openenterprise:
 [0]  :  Cancel
 [1]  :  7.x-1.x-dev    -  2012-Mar-17  -  Development
 [2]  :  7.x-1.0-beta7  -  2012-Mar-05  -  Supported, Recommended

2
Project openenterprise (7.x-1.0-beta7) could not be downloaded to    [error]
…/drupal/profiles/openenterprise.
[…]# _

So much for "just to be clear" (ha).

I'd intended to add that the second line
drush dl openenterprise --destination=./profiles
fails in the same way (..could not be downloaded to..)

The intention is to demonstrate that this is not a local directory/file/user rights issue, as I can successfully download "commons" (for example) with drush, but the exact same context with oe. Didn't mean any more than that. I tripped up by rights issues all the time, but it seems it's not the case here...

Ah, I understand now.

So, maintainers, what’s the problem here? Why does downloading this fail, when pretty much all other projects in the entire Drupalverse succeed at least in being downloadable via Drush using the same syntax and same directory permissions?

Joel, Open Enterprise is not a module, it is a Distribution. That is why it is different. All distributions will have this issue.

This has to be an issue with rights on the host; at least in the scenario I'm looking at, the distro .tar.gz is downloaded by drush but then cannot be copied to target directory. Debugging what is going on in the shell should show us what's going on. It's not that big a deal, because we can wget the tar ball and unpack it easy enough, and all we've lost is the convenience of a few keystrokes drush would have saved.

Problem getting apps is related, but the workaround a little different. If you get the sit up first, and then go an make sure that directory rights are set properly under sites/all/*, then the app installation should go ok.

Yes, I know that it’s not a Module, but a Distribution Profile.

Yet Commons (aka Drupal Commons) is a Distribution Profile also (a pretty complex one, with Organic Groups, etc.), and you yourself said that that worked just fine with Drush dl (#7), using the same directory permissions!
