Installed a fresh Drupal CMS setup and attempted to include Drupal CivicTheme via Composer.

Findings.

The issue arises because the CivicTheme monorepo specifies a dependency on the linkit module at ^6.1, while the GovCMS distribution you are using restricts the version of linkit to 7.0.2. This conflict blocks CivicTheme from being installed.

GovCMS Dependency: GovCMS 3.20.0 restricts linkit to ^6.1 while the latest development version of GovCMS has updated linkit to 7.1.

CivicTheme Dependency: CivicTheme's composer.json enforces a dependency structure that includes all modules, leading to conflicts when partial updates are attempted.

Potential Workarounds:

Use the development version of GovCMS with updated dependencies.

Wait until GovCMS releases a new stable version.

Temporary Override (Not Recommended for Production)

If you cannot wait for a new release but are hesitant about using a dev version, you can temporarily override dependencies:

composer require drupal/linkit:7.1 --no-update

composer update drupal/civictheme drupal/linkit --ignore-platform-reqs

The main cause of the issue is the use of the Composer Merge Plugin in the https://github.com/civictheme/monorepo-drupal/blob/develop/composer.json... . This plugin aggregates dependencies for all modules in the monorepo, resulting in rigid version constraints for individual components like linkit, which limits their independent use outside the monorepo.

@shubhamporwal14@gmail.com, No, I am not saying this is fixed. Any changes to Drupal core are committed to our main development branch first. After that it may be backported to earlier versions, such as 10.4.x.

Also restoring the standard template.

@quietone Are your trying to say is this done in 11.x?
If yes can mark this fixed?

Hello, I have Drupal CMS (D11) installed locally. I was hoping to fire up this theme/design system. I've attempted to apply the patch by installing cweagans, adding to composer.json and running composer install.

I tried running this command:

drush ev "require_once dirname(\Drupal::getContainer()->get('theme_handler')->rebuildThemeData()['civictheme']->getPathname()) . '/theme-settings.provision.inc'; civictheme_enable_modules();"

It's giving me a long list of errors. Long story short, is the theme ready for Drupal CMS?
