Hi there,

Using bundle for managing compass-aurora dependencies has been suggested in #1968028: Respond-to Compile errors after Gem updates. I got it working, and wanted to share it (see below).

But first, I would like to ask Snugug about his plans for the aurora theme because things are moving pretty fast in the rwd toolbox and some choices will be necesary: Toolkit is dropping sussy in favor of singularity. Breakpoint now includes respond-to. And sussy-next seems to be also an important next milestone.

As I am starting to learn about this tools I would prefer to focus on what is coming next for aurora and drupal theming. Any thouhgts?

In the mean time I will go with the current aurora release. Here are the bundle instructions.

  1. Install bundle with gem install bundle
  2. Create a Gemfile in sites/all/themes/Gemfile whith the following content
    source 'https://rubygems.org'
    gem 'toolkit', '~>0.2.0'
    gem 'compass-aurora', '>=1.1.1'
    gem 'breakpoint', '~>1.0'
  3. Change directory to sites/all/themes and run bundle install
  4. Finally run the compass command like this bundle exec compass create theme_name -r aurora --using aurora/corona

Thanks for doing this, I appreciate it. Hopefully others see this too just in case!

If I was adding this to existing projects, I assume I only need to do steps 1-3? I'll give that a shot none the less.

Also just want to support your first two paragraphs. I follow a lot of Snugugs projects and they are definitely in active development, which is great, but can be a little confusing to comprehend sometimes. I just started using Susy and recently read about Toolkit / singularity, and then of course susy next is ongoing. Not that this really should affect why I decide to use Aurora right now, but it would be great to know the direction Aurora is going if it's been thought about or not.

I am currently trying to build and implement a standard theme system for a group of designers and developers that has a good base (aurora) with some flexibility for different skill sets for different people, with customizations that also solve some continuous situations we come across with our projects. Definitely a learning curve for me but trying to keep up with all of for sure.
