We treat an install of a local directory as "live" in that its contents might change at any time. It is not a true link in the "npm link" sense because "npm link" prevents deduping of dependencies, something that is required for JupyterLab's dependency injection system. As for the tar sum, here is the function we are using in jlab to compute it, since the hash of the tarball itself is unstable: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/blob/3201e4714ae85f3c21f0218261826595d55af518/jupyterlab/commands.py#L1550
