Are there any plans or any preliminary work done on a Drupal 8 version of this theme?

Are there any architectural considerations related to the integrated tools for creating a D8 branch.

I have to admit that I have not worked with this theme but I am willing to help with the D8 port.

First pass at a conversion. Processed first with twigify.

Manually converted the info file to yaml. Added libraries yaml file.

  • Patch applies to commit: 9f49524 on 7.x-3.x.
  • The theme works without errors on a empty D8 install but has not been thoroughly tested.
  • "theme" calls need to be converted to drupal_render because "theme" is gone "_theme" exists but is marked as internal only.
  • This is just a start.

There is no need to do a straight Aurora D8 port, and until Drupal 8 theming stabilizes I don't intend on working on this directly.

The purpose of Aurora is to give theme developers the HTML5 templates and preprocess functions that they need, and nothing more. To that effect, a lot of what Aurora does could be in Drupal core--- since a lot of the base templates are being updated to have better standards already. Instead of pre-emptively adding a bunch of templates, I rather wait to see what Drupal core has, and only include those things that we need. To that effect, I am postponing this for a while, while D8 core conversations happen still. If you are in town, some of these conversations will be happening at the contrib sprints at Morten's table.

Thank you for chiming in @iamcarrico .

One thing to consider is that when child themes begin to get ported to D8, having an aurora theme with matching elements and classes will help minimize conversion time.

Any thoughts on making progress towards a d8 release yet?

After chatting with some other themers here @ DrupalCon Latin America... I've decided to hold off on putting serious work into a D8 version until rc1 comes out. There is still too much in flux, that I wouldn't want to have duplicate effort. When rc1 gets released, I will open up a meta issue to ensure all the important pieces of the theme are made.

Drupal 8 is now on RC2. Have you opened the meta issue for the D8 upgrade? If so, could you post the link in this ticket?
