Drush screencast tutorial 2: Using the drush dl and info commands

in | 

This screencast dives deep into the Drush "dl" and "info" commands, which can be used to look-up, download and extract the recommended version (or specific versions) of modules, themes, install profiles and translations.


(Minor typo - votingapi-2.0-dev should of course have been votingapi-2.x-dev)

is there any benefit to use cvs as the handler instead of the normal built in wget? the only thing i can think of is if it it cvs it might keep any changes i make to the files (assuming the newer version doesnt modify that text). other than that using the normal method you can still use the updatecode or update commands to update the modules. Also how does the cvs method handle if i have installed a patch to one of the files after updating the cvs modules

I found creating drushrc.php from example.drushrc.php and setting a few options helpful. Running updates as user 1 is sometimes essential.

// always run as user 1
$options['u'] = 1;
I prefer to checkout with CVS.
// set package handler to CVS
$options['package-handler'] = 'cvs';
