"kitchen sink" distribution of GL

General NewsWith the various sites popping to support additions to GL, I was wondering how hard it would be to produce a "kitchen sink" (KS) parallel distribution of GL. The KS distro would quite simply contain all of the hacks, plugins, themes and various developments that can be crammed into a single tarball and still work. Though terrible for security, it seems to be easier to turn things off and rip them out, than to add them in, one by one.

Is this as easy as simply tarballing an existing install and expect the installer to modify the config files as needed? Would this be a way to make targeted GL bundles for various uses?

\"kitchen sink\" distribution of GL

Making such a distribution would not be as easy as taring up a site with all the plugins and hacks installed. Most of the plugins and addons make modifications to the database and often add data. Making such a distribution would entail rewriting the install to add the modifications and data.

Another issue is who is going to support such a distribution? I would not expect the geeklog developers to since they do not have control over all the code that would be involved.

So in short not impossible but not easy ether.
