This page captures notes on evaluating Drupal for Fedora Insight.

Drupal general information

Note.png
Drupal site
The Drupal website has constantly updated information on Drupal and is a good source of general information.

Drupal has many positive aspects that make it an attractive option for Fedora Insight:

  • Very large install base, ~1% of websites run it (by comparison, 8.5% run WordPress, and just over 1% run Joomla)
  • Drupal community is large and vibrant
  • Drupal community principles well aligned with Fedora (100% FOSS)
  • Most modules of interest seem to be very well suited from licensing perspective

Possible risk considerations:

  • Drupal 5 -> 6 migration is not painless, though Drupal 6.16 is current and in Fedora
  • Drupal 6.16 is not in EPEL-5, but may be available in EPEL-6
  • Drupal 7 due at an unknown date, possibly June 2010 but depends on bug stomping
  • Drupal modules need packaging for Fedora/EPEL
  • Modules may move at a fairly brisk pace of change, requiring attentive maintainers

Installing

Modules

Instructions on how to package Drupal modules are part of the Drupal module specfile template.
