Re: Drupal 8

Thanks Richard!  Right now my head is stuck in developer mode so I cannot think of any non-programming items that are needed, but I'm sure there will be :)

Hi Shawn:

I'm willing to help, though I haven't done any real programming I'm ten years our so, and don't know how much "help" I would actually be, but it's an offer.

I have started packaging the development version of Drupal 8.  There is still plenty of work to do (please help!) and I would also like to get the maintainers of drupal6 and drupal7 packages involved.

Besides "simply" packaging Drupal itself, I am trying to implement some additional features:

* provide RPM macros -- this will help simplify spec files

* virtual packages (i.e. "drupal8(<drupal_machine_name>)") -- this will especially help with the requiring of sub-modules

* virtual package auto-provides (parsed from *.info filenames) -- this allows a package to provide the main module itself as well as any sub-module(s) that are included

* virtual package auto-requires (parsed from *.info files' "dependencies[]" entries) -- this will help simplify spec files

* formalized packaging guidelines

I must give major credit for the auto provides and requires to the nodejs and npm package owners as I took a lot from their setup.

Drupal 8 itself is still in major development and this package will not be ready for Fedora for a good while.  I am doing all of my work out of GitHub.  If you would like to help out or review anything, please see the links below:
