acquia_search module on drupal.org
Hi,
Up until now I have been manually downloading and installing acquia from acquia.com. While this has worked fine I am busy migrating my setup to a CVS/SVN based one that allows me to use drush to easily update my modules from the command line.
The problem is that drush always hits an error while trying to update a module that came with acquia because it has not been checked out of CVS.
I tried to use the svn checkout of acquia drupal but unfortunately it conflicts with the svn setup I am already using and so is not possible for me to use.
So the most sensible thing to do then is to check drupal and the modules packaged with Acquia out of CVS and use this in conjunction with my acquia subscription to get the benefits of hosted search and support and the convenience of drush to update drupal. All good....
But when I try and find the acquia search module anywhere on drupal.org it seems to be missing. All the other modules included with acquia drupal checked out of cvs fine but I cant seem to find acquia_search anywhere.
Retaining the ability to use the hosted search is very important for my setup so I was wondering if someone could advise me on how to get a CVS version of this module
Thanks
anyone? these are the paid
anyone? these are the paid for support forums arent they?

Hi Gregg, You can use two
Hi Gregg,
You can use two SVN repositories, Acquia Drupal's SVN repository and then your own repository for your sites directory.
For information on combining your own repository with Acquia Drupal, we suggest the following links:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.externals.html
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.vendorbr.html
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.vendorbr.html
We hope to have more thorough documentation in the future, but in the meantime also take a look at our advanced SVN usage documentation at http://acquia.com/documentation/getting-started/fresh-install/svn/advanc...
Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestion. I
Thanks for the suggestion. I have already been through the recommended documentation you link to.
My problem is that I am already using a complicated system of svn externals in my optimised setup and when I check Acquia out of SVN, the checked out sites folder conflicts with the symlink I have setup to my sites folder that sits a level above the drupal root. This sites folder is referencing another repository using svn externals.
This setup is similar to the one here http://gotdrupal.com/videos/drupal-cvs-svn-setup and you can see my comment below the video referencing how to integrate acquia.
You did not answer my previous question yet which is, does the acquia search module exist anywhere on drupal.org in CVS that I could download it and reconstruct the basic acquia package? This is pretty much the missing piece from being able to do this which I think would solve my svn/cvs acquia issues.
Thanks and BTW I think the post above this is a spammer as it has nothing to do with what we are discussing and looks like a copy and paste job.
Appreciate your assistance.
Thanks

Gregg, thanks for the heads up on the spam post; I've deleted it. Pox on the spammers!

The Acquia Search module is
The Acquia Search module is presently not available from drupal.org or via CVS through any channel we are aware of. I've added an issue to our backlog about posting it to drupal.org and we'll see when that can happen.
In the meantime it is possible to use SVN in the same manner described in the gotdrupal video to checkout Acquia Drupal via SVN, integrate with any other SVN repositories you have and keep everything up to date. Here is one such symlink setup that works with an SVN checkout of Acquia Drupal and a separate (external if desired) sites directory.
.htaccess@ -> ../trunk/myconf/.htaccesscron.php@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/cron.php
includes@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/includes
index.php@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/index.php
install.php@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/install.php
misc@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/misc
modules@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/modules
profiles@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/profiles
scripts@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/scripts
sites@ -> ../trunk/sites
themes@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/themes
update.php@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/update.php
xmlrpc.php@ -> ../vendor/acquia-drupal/xmlrpc.php
(Note this uses the robotstxt module so it does not include the robots.txt file included in the Drupal/Acquia Drupal distribution).
Thanks,
