My specific use-case is that I want to hide the default drupal installation profiles on the site creation form.
I only want my admins to be able to install a very specific set of install profiles, and having an extra profile (or 3) is just confusing.
In general, I can see that it might be useful in general to disable specific packages (modules, themes, profiles) on a per-platform basis.
Is this something that other folks could use too?
Is this something that maintainers would consider including in hostmaster, or must this be relegated to contrib?
I would be willing to work on a patch, but I won't waste my time if it will never get into the package.

AaronBaumanFWIW:
digging into this, I see that it's possible to achieve this behavior by unpublishing the package node, but there's no way to do this through the UI. caveat: i'm not certain whether the node status will be respected, or could be reverted to published during a verify action.

anarcat CreditAttribution: anarcat commentedUnpublishing the node sounds like a great idea, and it should be fairly easy to make verify respect those settings.
Can you confirm unpublishing this actually works?
Comment #3
AaronBaumanactually, unpublishing seems to have had some unintended, negative consequences.
for my case, i was able to lock the platforms to significantly reduce the number of options.
i'll change this to postponed, since my particular issue is more or less solved.

ergonlogicNew features need to be implemented in Aegir 3.x, then we can consider back-porting to Aegir 2.x. Aegir 1.x is essentially deprecated.
