9 years ago I tried this with drush 7.x and drush 6.x.
The first time drush 7.x worked. The first time 6.x didn't work. The second time it did!
I have two theories. 1) drush 7.x's better queing system for downloads is better and/or 2) because there are so many modules on of them are weirdly failing in a way that isn't reported in the cli but is affecting the final build.
I would say we should just support 7.x.
Drush make fails when I try to build the OpenCivic codebase from the github repo.
After cloning the repo to my local in directory at path ./opencivic, I executed the following commands:
cd opencivic drush make build-opencivic-dev.make ../ocmaketest
Drush make generated the following lines of response:
drupal-7.32 downloaded. drupal patched with 995156-5_portable_taxonomy_permissions.patch. Generated PATCHES.txt file for drupal opencivic cloned from https://github.com/civic-commons/opencivic.git. Checked out branch 7.x-2.x. Found makefile: drupal-org.make ole downloaded from https://github.com/downloads/geops/ole/ole-1.0-beta3.tar.gz. colorbox downloaded from https://github.com/jackmoore/colorbox/archive/1.x.zip. leaflet downloaded from http://leaflet-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/build/leaflet-0.6.4.zip. cycle downloaded from https://raw.github.com/malsup/cycle/8704578d7364ef0f24fe4927215a32a20b7eb11c/jquery.cycle.all.js.
This generated a codebase, but upon inspecting its profiles/opencivic/modules directory, I discovered that none of the contrib modules actually were downloaded.
