Use blocking stream IO and manage feof and timedout status better. This will allow us to more cleanly extract information from sites and removes the possibility of the called scripts hanging

Merge some functions in the import process, and clean up a type from earlier. is_writable not is_readable

Only explode aliases if they are not already an array, and import the site.php file before import step.

this is common configuration on authoritative name servers:

allow-query { none; }

will disable query for all zones and then you enable the queries for specific zones. this allows truly autoritative, non-recursive bind nameserver

Closes: #366409

use hook_provision_init() in the provision_dns.module to initialise defines

Closes: #366345

Fix issue in DNS server, where packages disappear. The $data context array was being cleared during verify, which broke everything else

make provision configuration dir publicly read/executable so that bind can access the configuration directory

#343428 - move to proc_open, instead of exec, which makes the serialization parsing rock solid. Also, we can now pass an optional array to the calling script, which will allow us to not pass sensitive information over the command line

#343428 - better serialized string protection. not perfect due to weirdness in how exec handles spaces before newlines. Will need to switch to proc_open to fix this

Experimental update.php for DRUPAL 5. This is not integrated into any drush commands or the hosting front end yet

Replacement provision_invoke function which is a lot cleaner and simpler than the old one. It now automatically does pre_task, task and post_task variations, and handles rollbacks correctly across the whole set. This means broken site installs now roll back correctly.

Filter site.php to only show settings that are not configured in drushrc.php. No longer append options to site.php.

Move the provision help to hosting, severely reducing code duplication and simplifying provision even further

Part 1 of 3

moved the drupal installation process into it's own php process, to avoid cross db issues. much simpler now.
