Hello,
I just finished wrapping up Quickstart 0.7 (bittorrent).
This version has lots of new features: Email debugging, Performance profiling (with Webgrind), updates to IDEs, etc.
I've also started to put together some screencasts on how to use Quickstart. If you're interested, check out the YouTube channel. More to come...
Best wishes and thanks for contributing to open source,
Mike

Patience Tomas. Like all
Patience Tomas. Like all torrents, it takes awhile to move out through the network. Check your client settings.
I'm uploading at 200kbps, and Setting up another computer to upload at 300kpbs today. After you've downloaded, please seed to give back what you took.

Are there any update instructions?
Mike,
Thanks for the announcement. I have been experimenting with Quickstart 0.6 and very much enjoying it though still lots to learn.
I am wondering if there is any update path from Quickstart 0.6 to the new version. I have created some dev sites and other folders.
Thanks,
Izzy
Good question
Hi Izmeez,
Glad your taking value from it.
I plan to put up some more screencasts on YouTube to show how to use it. It's not totally obvious at first. http://www.youtube.com/user/drupalquickstart
As to the upgrade path? Well, that depends on a couple of things.
Do you really need to upgrade? Unless you need specific new features, it may be better to continue with what you've got. (For me, software is the deliverable, dev env is the toolset).
We use QS 0.6 for a client and have customized it so heavily, we won't upgrade. We're starting a new project in October for which we'll use QS 0.7. (Both are non-drupal projects btw).
If you do choose to upgrade, how to do it depends on what you've customized. If you just want to move your sites, then here's what I'd do:
1) Backup your databases with one of the following methods:
command line:
mkdir ~/websites/backupmysqldump -u root -p quickstart > ~/websites/backup/backup.sql
2) Backup DNS file /etc/hosts
cp /etc/hosts ~/websites/backup/hosts3) Backup Apache config files
cp /etc/apache2/sites-enabled ~/websites/backup
4) Tarball the whole directory
<code> tar -czf websites.tar.gz ~/websites
5) Move the tarball to the new virtual machine and unzip it into the websites folder
6) Put /etc/hosts back (so DNS works)
7) Put /etc/apache2/sites-enabled back. (so Apache works)
8) Restart apache: $ sudo apache2ctl restart
This would make a good drush command (dev-backup and dev-restore). I'll add it to the list. http://drupal.org/node/910288
Izzy, I havn't tested this, so if you run into problems and figure them out, be sure to post back any suggestions.
Also, you might skip a couple steps if you're tracking code/config with subversion/git.
Cheers,
Mike
A (possible) misconfig and a suggestion for 0.8
Hi Michael,
First of all, HUGE thanks for this project. I finally have a debugger running and a properly set up IDE! (of course, the other parts of the config are pretty cool and useful).
Now, let me tell you about two things I found in 0.7:
If you prefer, I can move these two issues to the issue queue, to manage them appropriately.
Hi Jedihe, Thanks for the
Hi Jedihe,
Thanks for the encouragement :-)
Hmmmm... I don't use eclipse so I haven't really tested it :-O. Can you write up the details of what you configured? Best if it's editing text files because I can script that. It takes about 3 hours to package a new version, so I don't do alot of extra steps manually configuring the IDE's.
I like the idea for associating the module and install files too. If there was a way to script that (make changes to text files), it's totally in.
Glad you're getting use out of the project,
Mike
Hi Michael, The configuration
Hi Michael,
The configuration I performed was just going to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Content Types -> Text -> PHP Content Type and adding the extensions; I don't know if it can be done by editing a text file...
I will try to raise my hand and suggest some improvements for 0.8 when you announce it :)
Whoops!
Good catch. I missed this config change. I'll re-roll a fixed version in a couple days (I'm doing some screencasts on it now and will catch anything else I missed).
For posterity, add this line to /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so
$ echo "zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so" | sudo tee -a /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini; sudo apache2ctl restart
