Contrib module may be considered a dependency instead of core module of the same name

I'm going to go ahead and commit 02ade24, which deals with this problem in a slightly hacky way - adding an exclusion list, the variable project_dependency_exclude_dependencies, an array of project shortnames to exclude as dependencies. The default is to exclude drupal and simpletest.

here's the committed patch.

Well, it turns out that the module leftandright has a module named taxonomy. Ugly. Adding it to the default list. I wish people wouldn't do that. Commit ad04d3a

I think the exclusion list needs to check at processing time as well? Currently it's just winnowing out things that might be core modules at dependency calculation time.

Pushed

Yet another problem is the 'category' module, which also squats on "taxonomy". I'm excluding it.

Here's how to update the project_dependency_excluded_dependencies variable:

php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category'));"  | drush vset --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

Edit: And then rebuild the dependencies for vote_up_down, which was the problem here, see #1299888: Bot error: failed to complete installation by setting admin username/password/etc:

drush pdpp vote_up_down
drush pdsd vote_up_down 6.x-2.x-dev

Had to update this tonight because of a profile, b2b_store_solution which has all these modules included in it.

php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution'));"  | drush vset --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

It *must* not be set up right though, because it's actually including the modules.

However, after doing this, the dependencies for commerce were not right (missing ctools).

And now the same problem because of the onepagecv project.

php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv'));"  | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

Also needs exclusion from dependencies, #1327352: Resolve issues caused by rogue install profile b2b_store_solution and onepagecv

For rebuilding, I created the jenkins job /job/project_dependency_rebuild_project/

Latest:

php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv', 'testbot_exercise', 'opendeals', 'corporative_site', 'rulesmonkey'));"  | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

starterkit_touchpro:

php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv', 'testbot_exercise', 'opendeals', 'corporative_site', 'rulesmonkey', 'starterkit_touchpro'));"  | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

Same thing with starterkit_touchpro

And with uberpaltw

 php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv', 'testbot_exercise', 'opendeals', 'corporative_site', 'rulesmonkey', 'starterkit_touchpro', 'uberpaltw'));"  | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

And contextual:

php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv', 'testbot_exercise', 'opendeals', 'corporative_site', 'rulesmonkey', 'starterkit_touchpro', 'uberpaltw', 'contextual'));"  | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

And the old translation module:
php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv', 'testbot_exercise', 'opendeals', 'corporative_site', 'rulesmonkey', 'starterkit_touchpro', 'uberpaltw', 'contextual', 'translation'));" | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

And contact
php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv', 'testbot_exercise', 'opendeals', 'corporative_site', 'rulesmonkey', 'starterkit_touchpro', 'uberpaltw', 'contextual', 'translation', 'contact'));" | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

And file
php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv', 'testbot_exercise', 'opendeals', 'corporative_site', 'rulesmonkey', 'starterkit_touchpro', 'uberpaltw', 'contextual', 'translation', 'contact', 'file'));" | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

Deployed project_dependency 6.x-1.0-beta1 tonight. Could be the end of this one.

php -r "print json_encode(array('drupal', 'simpletest', 'leftandright', 'category', 'b2b_store_solution', 'onepagecv', 'testbot_exercise', 'opendeals', 'corporative_site', 'rulesmonkey', 'starterkit_touchpro', 'uberpaltw', 'contextual', 'translation', 'contact', 'file', 'webform_patched'));" | drush vset -y --format=json project_dependency_excluded_dependencies -

To exclude webform_patched
