Hello,

I just finished a move to Austin TX and started to work with Drupal 7 in Quickstart.

QS 0.8 can install D7 using drush like this:
drush qc all --domain=powma.dev

If you change the ~/websites/default.make file like this:
api = 2
core = 7.x
projects[drupal][version] = 7.0-beta2

(add more modules here)

I think D7 includes an automated installer, so hopefully I can figure out how to remove the manual install step from the drush command.

Anyone have any other tips or suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

drush si

Look in the help of drush. I thought there is drush si (site install) to install drupal 7 sites. Is not working for drupal 6.

Feature Idea: Integrate Aegir

(Sorry, I realized after I posted that this isn't really in the right thread...)

This may be completely overkill for a dev environment, but I can't think of an easier way to clone/create/manage new sites than the Aegir project (http://groups.drupal.org/aegir-hosting-system). I don't think it requires much overhead when it's installed and would likely be invisible to those who wouldn't care to use it.

I know one of the largest barriers to entry with Aegir is its complex installation. Sounds like a perfect reason to give it a quickstart!

Thanks for providing a great tool! So far I've enjoyed using it. It's mobile, it's clonable, it's a fast setup! Thanks!
