This sandbox is a attempt to move main Drupal folders inside a core directory. More information on the issue http://drupal.org/node/22336
Please note that this sandbox will never be promoted to a full project, and the repository is a clone of Drupal core repository with some experimental code, so it's doesn't follow some drupal.org standards for commits/branches/tags.
The repository was divided on four topic branches, each of them independent:
- move-includes-to-core
- move-misc-to-core
- move-modules-and-themes-to-core*
- move-profiles-to-core**
And the "master" branch:
- new-shine-core-directory***
One topic branch will be "consolidated" when:
- A web installation can be made.
- All tests passes.
- There are no others visible errors.
A consolidated branch will be merged or rebased into master and, if it don't generate any new error, it'll be pushed and the topic branch deleted.
* Since "modules" and "themes" has so much in common, their branches were merged together.
** One further goal of "profiles" is to make it behave like "modules" and "themes", e.g. Drupal will look at sites/* directories for a "profiles" folder. So Drupal distributions won't need to touch at /core.
*** maybe it should be new shiny core directory, forgive my bad English...
