Hi all, I'd like to announce The 5.x-2.0 release of the Drupal Automated Staging Toolkit http://drupal.org/project/DAST. This toolkit contains the core Phing build files and types that allow you to automate the tasks of setting up a Drupal site - 1. Getting the Drupal core and module code either from CVS or a local directory or tarball 2. Applying a patch to the site, fetched from from a local file or an HTTP URL 3. Creating the MySQL database and writing configuration directives to Apache, MySQL, and PHP configuration files 4. Fetching and running an installation profile so the site is ready-to-use as soon as the build completes. I'd encourage everybody interested in automating Drupal setups for testing to download the current release and have a look at the drupalorg_testing-site project - this is a build project which creates a complete working d.o clone using the drupalorg_testing profile.

I am immediately reminded of the dialogue of the jQuery 2.0 thread. Earnie -- http://for-my-kids.com/ -- http://give-me-an-offer.com/

But given that DAST is command line thing, probably only going to be used by developers, and won't 'update' things automatically, it's not quite the same thing. But I guess, the principles apply, and a huge 'big read warning sticker' should be attached to DAST. On 17/09/2007, Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sourceforge.net> wrote:

That's an understatement. ;) It's fundamentally different, since it is triggered manually by a human with extra privileges, instead of automatically by httpd/php. 3 cheers for DAST. -Derek
