Concept

Imagine that a new version of your favorite distribution is released. What if all you had to do to upgrade an existing installation was to type: "drush distro update", no matter how radical the changes in the distribution's composition? Is that a goal worth pursuing?

Description

Distro is a client/server tracker to manage modules and features that make up a Drupal distribution. While features are used to encapsulate distribution functionality, and an installation profile is used for initial installation of a distribution, "distro" does the remaining part: things necessary to easily maintain an up-to-date distribution installations.

Near-Future Goals

Full support of Features, integration with Drush, integration with Aegir.

See Distro in action, used by following distribution(s):

Requirements

This module uses JSON as a service communication protocol. As such it needs access to json_encode() and json_decode() methods i.e. you need to run it on PHP 5.2.x. (same version requirement as in drush).
