I don't understand how, using drush under aegir, I can download a profile from drupal.org, or what the makefile looks like to do that. When I direct Aegir to a profile makefile to make a new drupal, and in profiles/cforge it puts a whole new drupal with the cforge profile in profiles/cforge/profiles/cforge When I try to download my cforge profile as if it were a module I get

$ drush @test.communityforge.net dl cforge
>Source directory /tmp/drush_tmp_1368637808/cforge is not readable or does not exist.  [error]
>Project cforge (7.x-1.0-rc4) could not be downloaded to /var/aegir/platforms/test/sites/all/modules/cforge.
so I'm left assembling a platform by hand Any clues?

is there an online repository of platforms?

Koumbit's kplatforms is a repository of makefiles that we use to maintain our production platforms. It's neither 'official', nor an exhaustive list of distributions. But it can serve as an reference for how one can build fairly re-usable makefiles.

@matslats I think the problem you're having is due to your inclusion of a Drupal core project in cforge.make. An install profile's makefile should generally only include its dependencies (modules, themes & libraries), so that it can in turn be recursively built when the profile is added to a "stub" makefile.

Thanks I think I haven't grasped the concept of a stub makefile yet. I'll experiment some more.
