DEPRECATED Sector - a Distribution for Drupal

**Visit: [Sector Distribution on Drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org/project/sector) for the actively maintained version of this project.**

Sector Ecosystem
----------------

[](#sector-ecosystem)

Sector Distribution aims to be lean and only includes core features that we feel are either very useful or indispensable on every kind of site. Therefore, additional functionality that we consider optional will be placed on [drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org) as a standalone module that can be included on any project. You can see these add ons on Sectors project page on Drupal.

Updating Sector and Drupal
--------------------------

[](#updating-sector-and-drupal)

Sector will be updated when you run `composer update`, but you can specifically update Sector and all its dependencies with `composer update sparksinteractive/sector-distribution`. Release notes and specific changes per update will be posted on [sector.nz](https://www.sector.nz)

Sector has the same [system requirements](https://www.drupal.org/docs/system-requirements) as Drupal.
