[aegir] Profile amnesia on the command line?

[Richard George]

 Also posted to http://community.aegirproject.org/node/492 but got no
responses there (fair enough, it¹s a weird bug) so figured I¹d give it
another shot here:

I've managed to create platforms via both the command line (see
http://lists.aegirproject.org/pipermail/aegir/2011-January/000026.html) and
web interface, and I can get sites to install with a selected profile
through the web interface, but when I try to install a site via the command
line it keeps resetting to the default profile. Can anyone see what I'm
doing wrong here?

I create a site alias:

drush --uri='demo.c.didev.co.uk' provision-save '@site_demo.c.didev.co.uk'
--context_type=site --platform='@platform_dennis_generic_20110316b'
--profile='myprofile' --db_server='@server_localhost'
--client_email='me at domain.com'

and it creates a valid alias file:

cat .drush/site_demo.c.didev.co.uk.alias.drushrc.php
<?php $aliases['site_demo.c.didev.co.uk'] = array (
'context_type' => 'site',
'platform' => '@platform_dennis_generic_20110316b',
'server' => '@server_master', 'db_server' => '@server_localhost',
'uri' => 'demo.c.didev.co.uk',
'root' => '/var/aegir/platforms/dennis_generic_20110316b/',
'site_path' => 
'/var/aegir/platforms/dennis_generic_20110316b//sites/demo.c.didev.co.uk',
'site_enabled' => true,
'language' => 'en',
'client_email' => 'me at domain.com',
'aliases' =>  array ( ),
'redirection' => false,
'profile' => 'myprofile', );

However, when I run "drush @hostmaster hosting-import
@site_demo.c.didev.co.uk" it rewrites the alias file to "profile = default"
and installs with the default profile!

Now, this is a pain but not a disaster as I can do the initial site creating
via the web interface and it'll work, but I get apparently related errors
when trying to migrate on the command line (per instructions at
http://community.aegirproject.org/node/41) where it appears to not create an
array of profiles and crashes (I'll post on that separately later) and
wanted to rule out these problems before I tackle those.

So - am I doing something wrong, or is there just a bug?


Thanks,
    Richard
