Hello,
I want to add my own installation profile in a distribution proposed in octopus.
My quesion is:
Do I need to put in "myprofile/modules" all modules that are used in my profile or is that they can be downloaded on demand via a myprofile.make file ?
In this case, when does the myprofile.make will be executed ? :
- when creating a new site on the platform ?
- or when the platform is verified?
Thank you for your help.
Stéphane.

Makefiles are used only on
Makefiles are used only on platform creation, either manually with drush make or when you are using makefile in the Create Platform form. It is never used on platform verify or site creation.
Your contrib modules will be downloaded to profiles/profilename/modules when listed in the profiles/profilename/profilename.make or to sites/all/modules when listed in your 'stub' makefile.
