Building Spark from Drush Make yourself

What is Drush? To learn about Drush go here: http://drupal.org/project/drush

There are three .make files in Spark:

1. drupal-org-core.make, required by the Drupal.org packaging system in order to apply patches to core (we do have a couple).
2. drupal-org.make, required by the Drupal.org packaging system to specify all the other projects/libraries/patches that should be bundled into a tarball.
3. build-spark.make, for people who want to build Spark out by themselves.

If you're one of them, simply do:

drush make build-spark.make ~/Sites/spark

If you don't see a new folder in ~/Sites (This may be due to outdated patches which didn't apply cleanly). Try telling drush to --force-complete.

drush make build-spark.make --force-complete ~/Sites/spark

At this point, if you so choose, you can use Acquia Dev Desktop to install your newly built site.
