Hello,
There is an issue being resolved with drush make, the new git migration, and Quickstart 0.9.
To fix this issue, open the drush make files ~/websites/default.make, d6.make, and d7.make. Replace this line: projects[] = drupal
with this line: projects[drupal][type] = core
If you attempt to do a "drush quickstart-create", it may fail during the "drush make". Drush Make is a separate project from quickstart and handles the downloading of code from drupal.org. http://drupal.org/project/drush_make
You can test this out with the following command:
quickstart@qs09:~/websites$ drush make d7.make d7.site
Project information for drupal retrieved. [ok]
Unable to determine project type for drupal. [error]
Non-existent project type on project drupal [error]
No core project specified. [error]Drush make is failing on the default.make, d6.make, and d7.make files that come with Quickstart. See this issue for details: http://drupal.org/node/950018#comment-4153904
The next planned release of quickstart is for the end of April and the 11-04 Ubuntu release. I may release a new version earlier if other issues pop up and need to be fixed.
Cheers,
Mike
