Packaging a distribution

Packaging of drupal-org.make files present in a distribution on Drupal.org will end in November 2022. Drupal distributions can provide packaged downloads from alternative sources (ie. GitHub) or point users to documentation about running drush make locally or as part of a build process. Developers who want to manage an Install Profile with Composer are encouraged to get involved in the Distribution Modernization Initiative.
