I just imported drupal5, and a handful of helpful modules. This makes for ~35 new packages, all consisting of php/javascript code: - no stress for bulk package builders. - completely arch-independent.
Drupal is an industrial-strength CMS, with a reasonable user-interface, contrarily to some other stuff I've tried where I couldn't figure out how to do what I wanted (e.g., joomla). It has sensible permission management, seamless integration of attached files, and `true' content management (database style, with quite a few tools to properly integrate info). Reasons for packaging this is that it can be a bit hard to install some pieces, as some stuff needs to be moved around (tinymce), or if you want to have everything in your language from the ground up. Also, drupal features literally hundreds of plugins of varying usefulness, so it can be difficult to choose... This is an initial set of mostly tested plugins... In case you're wondering, yes, drupal6 is out by now, but a lot of very useful plugins (most notably views) are not yet finished, so it makes more sense to provide drupal5 now, and wait for drupal6 to stabilize. Caveat: this is a complex web application, security holes are frequent in that area, especially with the complex model that drupal provides. For maximum security, you probably want to fiddle with mod_fastcgi and install drupal with its own user, or even better, with one different user per-site.
