With #779476: Remove commit restrictions for installation profiles long complete, http://drupal.org/project/cod, http://drupal.org/project/cod_support and http://drupal.org/project/fusion_swimmingly can live in the same project, which simplifies development and makes it easier for folks to file issues.

Let's consolidate these projects.

I'm actually not clear on how to accomplish this :P.

It would be ideal to preserve the usage statistics data for COD which is currently recorded against COD_Support, but to use the COD shortname.

Some potential options are:

A) Change the COD_Support project shortname to COD, change the COD shortname to something like COD_Deprecated?
-- Can we do this?
-- What will happen to the existing sites whose info files that have "project = "cod_support"?
B) Something else ;) ?

I'd suggest just doing the right thing and letting the new usage stats start showing up as you move forward and people upgrade. So:

  • Move all the code out of cod_support and put it directly into cod. There are ways to do this that preserves all the Git history if you'd like.
  • Leave the cod_support project where it is, but with an empty Git repo (or perhaps just a README.txt or something). Mark the project node "obsolete", and add a note saying "as of COD version X and higher, this module is no longer needed since it has moved directly into the COD project itself."
  • Usage stats will continue to report to cod_support for existing sites in the wild (you can't change those now).
  • New usage stats will properly appear on cod itself once people upgrade or install new sites using the latest version.

Anything else would be uncivilized. ;)

Cheers,

Thanks!

After further thought, it actually makes sense to allow folks to download just the COD feature modules separately from the packaged distribution.

We've made a full release over at http://drupal.org/project/cod, so marking this as fixed.
