Drupal Commerce contributor Ryan Hovland of ProCycle reached out today in the Drupal Slack #commerce channel to let me know the asset-packagist Composer repository is defunct. This repository allowed projects like Commerce Kickstart to download JavaScript libraries managed by npm to a Drupal codebase via Composer.
The trees are waking,
Their leaves taking
Leave from the holes
Where they hid within
The branches branching
From their mighty boles.
The seeds they ceded
Last year to the
Fertile ground below
Are gone, replaced by
Tender shoots,
Preparing now to grow.
What I desire to change
Will oft outlast my will
What I wish would remain
Will leave me (unfulfilled)
It's been years since I paid much attention to my personal blog, dropping by only occasionally to post something new, moderate comments, or apply Drupal updates. I've been wanting to upgrade for a while, and the current status of Drupal 9 + its core themes Olivero (front-end) and Claro (admin) convinced me to spend a few evenings making it happen. However, I didn't want to just rock the blue palette the Olivero theme uses by default.
