Drush Make
The theory, the practice, the future
Drush Make
Some quick examples
Core + Views
; Core, latest version
projects[] = drupal
; Views, latest version
projects[] = viewsSpecific versions
projects[views][version] = 3.0Why
Site manifest
Easy for developers to quickly get up to speed on a project
Can eliminate duplicative repositories
(Doesn't have to)
Encourages contributing back to the community
(Which encourages well thought out patches instead of hacks)
Simplicity
Advanced usage
Patches

Things that could be better
drush pm-update- External dependencies
- Drupal.org distribution packaging
The future of make
drush pm-updateneeds an option to update the .make file- Caching of downloads (currently, use squid)
- Drush 5 does this
- create a Drush Deploy strategy
- Patch manifest
- Better support
- and finally ...
Put make in drush core
