What is BOA flavored Drupal and Pressflow? #991

Open bserem opened 8 years ago

bserem commented 8 years ago

I'm doing a presentation on BOA next week, in Drupalcamp Greece (drupal-camp.gr).

I have many things covered, and I'm prepared for most of the questions I expect, except for what is the difference between these forks: https://github.com/omega8cc/pressflow6 https://github.com/omega8cc/7x and the original drupal/pressflow, other than the following?

For Drupal 7 based custom platforms (when default profiles are used) we recommend to rename too generic profiles names – from “Standard” to “Vanilla Standard” and from “Minimal” to “Vanilla Minimal” in their corresponding .info files, to match BOA naming convention used for built-in platforms. In the file: standard.info it should be “name = Vanilla Standard”. In the file: minimal.info it should be “name = Vanilla Minimal”. We recommend to remove the testing profile, unless it is used. Then re-verify the platform. Note that for any platform with custom profile it is best to remove all other not used default profiles.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

There are many performance and compatibility patches in our P6/D7 forks, which never got included in the official core, but are widely tested and some even used in some distributions installed by Octopus. We didn't document this, so you would need to review our commits in both repos in the last few years to get a complete list. We should probably document this better!
