Bug#884765: ITP: drupal-init-tools -- helper commands to create and install new Drupal projects

[Antonio Ospite]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Antonio Ospite <***@ao2.it>

* Package name : drupal-init-tools
Version : 0.1.1
Upstream Author : Antonio Ospite <***@ao2.it>
* URL : https://git.ao2.it/drupal-init-tools.git/
* License : GPL-2+
Programming Lang: Bash
Description : helper commands to create and install new Drupal projects


When setting up a new Drupal project with
drupal-composer/drupal-project, drush and drupal-console are not
available yet and some repetitive tasks can use a nicer command line
interface.

These scripts are especially useful when setting up projects in user web
directories[1].

Some more info about the upstream project is available at
https://ao2.it/en/blog/2017/08/02/drupal-init-tools-quick-and-easy-drupal-8-setup

Since Drupal 8 is not available in Debian I think that having
drupal-init-tools in the official archive can make it easier for users
to set up a Drupal site on their machine.

I am the upstream author of drupal-init-tool and I plan on maintaining
the Debian package myself, but I am not a Debian Developer or a Debian
Maintainer.

I do have a sponsor who is kind enough to upload some other packages of
mine, but if someone is interested in web stuff and want to sponsor me
for this one, my usual sponsor and I would surely appreciate it. :)

Thanks,
Antonio

The Debian packaging bits can be found in the "debian" branch of the
upstream repository:
https://git.ao2.it/drupal-init-tools.git/tree/refs/heads/debian:/debian

The package is very simple. It builds fine under pbuilder, is
lintian-clean and passes all piuparts checks.

Ciao,
Antonio

FWIW, as the maintainer of Drupal7 (FWIW, I requested for it to be
removed from unstable yesterday), I am interested in having it. I'm
currently away from home and with low network availability, but am
willing to look at the packaging sponsor your uploads if needed (but
expect end-of-the-year-time delays)

Ping.

I released upstream version 0.1.2 and updated the debian packaging in
the debian/master branch to 0.1.2-1:

https://git.ao2.it/drupal-init-tools.git/
https://git.ao2.it/drupal-init-tools.git/shortlog/refs/heads/debian/master

drupal-init-tools now works better with modern MySQL/MariaDB versions,
and with Drush 9.

The old tutorial is still valid:
https://ao2.it/en/blog/2017/08/02/drupal-init-tools-quick-and-easy-drupal-8-setup

The package description can be improved, now it assumes that the user
knows drupal 8 and how it is supposed to work, but I'd like to know if
the package has any chances to be sponsored before putting more time
into it.

Thanks,
Antonio

Seven years later, it seem obvious that no-one knew the answer to this
question at the time. As no upload happened, I switch this back to a
request for package.

Note, I have tried to reach Antonio Ospite but got no reply for half a
year, so I also assume he is MIA.
