Drupal 10, the latest version of the open-source digital experience platform with even more features, is here.Hi there.
A few weeks ago, I emailed the core maintainers of Aegir to propose a future path for Provision.
The new 4.x branch is shaping up to be a great CLI tool in it's own right.
I proposed to Provision4 should be removed from the "Aegir" organization and released into the wild as a standalone organization to support the main app: The Provision4 CLI.
The team was very supportive. Here are the steps I've taken so far:
- Create a new GitHub organization: https://github.com/provision4
- Push the 4.x branch (and some open PRs) to the new repository: https://github.com/provision4/provision
- Created a new Twitter account: https://twitter.com/provisionCLI
- Bought new domains (for 5 years!): provision4.com provision4.org
- Created a new GitBook documentation page: https://docs.provision4.org/
- Blogged about it: http://www.thinkdrop.net/announcing-provision-4-leaving-aegir-nest
Here are some things I have yet to do:
- Delete the 4.x and related branches on drupal.org
- Change the Aegir\Provision PHP namespace.
- Find any other remaining mentions of "aegir" and mitigate them.
- Recruit the 4.x development team!!
We plan on figuring out a way to let Aegir 3 use Provision 4 as a back-end instead of drush+provision3.x. We've already taken a number of steps to make this happen like #2957156: Convert Provision to include ClassLoader using composer.json and autoloader.php.
