[commerce_kickstart] Commerce Kickstart

We currently have no porting plans for Kickstart. It is a distribution that depends on many modules, and we are focusing on those.

I'm happy to say that Commerce 2.x will be more usable out of the box, not requiring the many Kickstart customizations for a favorable first impression.
That leaves us with the opportunity to actually separate different Commerce spins (shipping, digital, events) from demos.

Should mention that a big blocker is the fact that distributions on d.o don't support Composer yet, so you can't actually include Commerce in a distribution at this point.

So it's fair to say: let's talk again in 6 months.

6 month follow up: still no composer, no way to build distro with third party dependencies.

If this were to happen, users of the distribution must outline features they use and would be driving force to make a D8 version. Many of the desirables provided by CK2 for Commerce are now in 2.x.

Any new update? Thanks.

Drupal.org still doesn't support Composer distributions.

Most Kickstart v2 features are now in Commerce 2.x.
So recreating Kickstart v2 is basically Commerce 2.x + Shipping 8.x-2.x + commerce_demo + a nice Bootstrap-based theme (which we don't have yet).

Any news in this issue...?

Thanks for such a great distro.

Warm regards from sunny México.

Do note that Commerce for D8 now has a demo theme and a demo store:
https://www.drupal.org/project/belgrade
https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_demo

You can install the full demo via Composer using the instructions at https://github.com/drupalcommerce/demo-project
We still can't put this on Drupal.org because of missing Composer support.

OK, um, Why don't you guys just use LUDWIG? Why wait for composer?
I have a site that has shared hosting and Ludwig allows me to install
all the modules and components on remote server....
So at least some folks can utilize the package.

Looking for Kickstarter2 for Drupal 8. Couldn't I just use ludwig to install needed modules, I am working on a remote server.
Can I get the Tar somewhere?

@Delk Lucas Please use the issue queue of the particular project itself for such requests. This issue is about the port to d8.

Any update about the porting to Drupal 8?

@OCTOGONE.dev Please refrain from asking these questions here. Use the issue queue of the project itself to find this information. You are welcome to bring the answer here.

Seems like the project issue was closed as outdated https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_kickstart/issues/2730929.

Does this mean there are no plans to update this distribution to Drupal 8?

No plans whatsoever. Drupal.org still doesn't support Composer-based distributions, 5 years after my initial comment here.

As far as I'm concerned, the idea of a distribution is dead, the community allowed the concept to die, and nobody seems to be complaining. Composer templates (such as our demo-project) are a fine enough replacement. Compared to the old Kickstart, it's only missing admin UI improvements, which should happen in Commerce itself anyway. The actual demo store is much better built and easier to customize in demo-project than in Kickstart v2.
