As you know Nutshell is my little Drupal 7 experiment, running a live site on it. Its been a fun month and the more I work on it, the more I like how Drupal 7 is turning out.
Earlier today Drupal 7 alpha 6 was released and I was of course eager to test it. Both to see if I could easily update Nutshell to it and to check all the changes since alpha 5.

The Drupal 7 release date is getting closer. Last night (CET) Angie "webchick" Byron released Drupal 7 alpha 6 to the world. In this post I will give you a quick overview of what has changed since alpha 5.
Bets where on that it would be a beta this time, but we will have to wait a bit more for that. That it is a new alpha means that the upgrade path is not there just yet.
What is new in this release then?

At 7:28 this morning (my time) Jen Simmons tweeted that "Bartik is in core!. This is great news since Bartik is a fantastic theme that really takes advantage of the new features in Drupal 7.

When I was living back home in Sweden, we had a airfield only four kilometres from our house. The airfield was used by a glider plane club and from spring to fall there very activity all the time, especially during the holiday season.

In this HowTo I will describe how I quickly duplicate Nutshell.nu so that I do further testing or development without affecting the live website.
This HowTo is based on Drupal 7 alpha 5. I don't see any reason for it not to work with both Drupal 6 and newer versions of Drupal 7 as well.
Requirements
You will need to install and configure the Backup and Migrate module on the website you want to duplicate. That is the only requirement needed there.

A new Drupal 7 release didn't turn up this week. In a new tweet by Angie "webchick" Byron, last night, she wrote that it will be coming next week instead.
In the tweet she also writes that is TBD (To Be Decided) if this is going to be a new alpha release, or if it will move up one step and become a beta release. Previously Angie has said that the criteria for going beta is that the upgrade path from Drupal 6 has to be there.
