Problems with helm site installation

[osopolar]

Hi, I wanted to test the helm distribution. And tried to install like:

git clone https://github.com/albatrossdigital/helm-drops-7.git helm.dev
cd helm.dev
drush site-install -y helm

But I can't run drush in helm.dev, because I get the error:

Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.

Calling http://helm.dev/install.php gives me the error:

( ! ) Fatal error: Call to undefined function db_query() in /home/dev/websites/helm.dev/sites/all/modules/evaluate/domain/domain.bootstrap.inc on line 112

Seems to be related to the issue Fatal error: Call to undefined function db_query() in /sites/all/modules/domain/domain.bootstrap.inc.

Commenting out the last line in settings.php: #include DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/all/modules/evaluate/domain/settings.inc'; helps.

Now drush site-install helm complains about:

Could not determine database connection parameters. Pass --db-url option.

Finally it works with: drush site-install helm --db-url=mysql://helm_dev:helm_dev@localhost/helm_dev

Now I got a bunch of these warnings:

WD php: Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in field_create_field() (line 92 of /home/dev/websites/helm.dev/modules/field/field.crud.inc).

and:

WD php: Warning: class_implements(): object or string expected in entity_type_supports() (line 84 of
/home/dev/websites/helm.dev/profiles/helm/modules/contrib/entity/entity.module).
WD php: Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in entity_type_supports() (line 84 of /home/dev/websites/helm.dev/profiles/helm/modules/contrib/entity/entity.module).

Finally it seems to work anyway, but:

The install script copies the default.settings.php over the settings.php, so the "domain access Pantheon stuff" and include DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/all/modules/evaluate/domain/settings.inc'; gets overwritten too.

I am not sure if I need these lines, but I added them back as in the original settings.php and now it works. IMHO settings.php should not be added to the git repository and I guess if you add the changes to default.settings.php they will be copied on install.
