Hey there,

Just playing around with this, and while I haven't made it completely through the creation of an install profile, it definitely seems head and shoulders above the native alternative! Thanks for the great tool. (I filed an issue in the doc team queue to get this mentioned on the "Installation Profile Utility page" where Installation Profile API is listed.)

Anyhow, you mentioned "example.info" in the README, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Has it been created yet? Or should I be looking in the Profiler Example installation profile?

Anyhow, just wanted to let you know about the inconsistency. Thanks again!

Alright, so on further inspection, it seems the Profiler module README might be referring to the Profiler Example installation profile, which has a profiler_example.info file that seems bang on.

One confusing part: The README for Profiler module indicates that the 5 required cored modules don't need to be mentioned in the dependencies[] array, but you've got them listed. Which one's correct?

Cheers!

Title: example.info not included? » Confirm if 5 required core modules are needed in Profiler 2

Yes, sorry about the confusion. Can someone test if these are required or not? It has changed and I don't recall where it's currently at. :)

The change to this module's README should be something like:

The `.info` file
----------------
Each install profile `.info` file is a plain text file that adheres to the
Drupal `.info` file syntax. See the included `example.info` for an example of a
working install profile `.info` file.

The `.info` file
----------------
Each install profile `.info` file is a plain text file that adheres to the
Drupal `.info` file syntax. See the D7 version of profiler_example.info
within the Profiler Example project. 
http://drupal.org/project/profiler_example

I was a bit confused because even though this is a 6.x project, Profiler Example's 6.x project will never work with this. The README should explicitly tell the user to use the D7 version of that.

Either that or we include the example with this project - which would make a bit more sense to me.

Also - tested that these are not required to be explicitly called as dependencies[] - tested by simply removing them, and upon inspection of installed modules after a profiler install, these were enabled for me: block, filter, node, system, user

Is there a D7 version of Profiler Example...I don't see it anywhere...

@hp3kman, No, unfortunately, due to a bug in the Drupal.org release system, I cannot create a new release of Profiler Example. My hands are tied on that. Sorry!

ps, In the future, can you please create new issues for support questions like this? Thanks so much!

I'm not sure this is necessary anymore. If you disagree, let me know! :)
