Installation profiles

Installation profiles are a feature in Drupal core that was added in the 5.x series. The Drupal installer allows you to specify an installation profile which defines which modules should be enabled, and can customize the new installation after they have been installed. This will allow customized "distributions" that enable and configure a set of modules that work together for a specific kind of site (Drupal for bloggers, Drupal for musicians, Drupal for developers, and so on).

Agaric Starter Installation Profiles

The starter profiles package from Agaric Design Collective is both a rough quick-start for a fairly generic Drupal site and a starter for developers to make their own install profiles (or variations within this one).

Feel free to use the issue queue for feature requests. We hope that this start will help the Drupal community come up with a base set of install profiles for Drupal 5.

Currently this installation profile just enables some modules (contributed modules are commented out at the moment so this profile can be tried without downloading any modules), makes a couple content types, makes a taxonomy vocabulary for an issue campaign, creates a role, and changes the name of anonymous users to Visitor.

Planned features include creating some pages with path aliases, setting permissions, and making several install profiles that simply use include files, in an attempt to make mix-and-match install profiles to share functionality. Oh, and adding blockquote to Filtered HTML input format.

This is a beta release pending the a rearchitecture to make it modular. See for reference Agaric's notes relating to installation profiles.

DrupalEd

The long term goals of DrupalEd are to support a variety of different installation profiles to meet different needs within schools, universities, and learning organizations.
