The 'svn update' usecase is the reason we could think of why
install is always called, even if recipe and buildout config
hasn't changed.
Right now the install method can be called in a number of
different cases:
a) when the part isn't there yet
b) when the part is there, and the configuration or recipe has
changed. In this case the part is removed again automatically, so
this is equivalent to a).
c) when the part is there, and the recipe and configuration have
not changed. In this case there needs to be code that bails out if
the part is there and looks okay, or alternatively update code
that updates the part (svn up).
Case c) looks different. If there was an update method that got
called in case c), the install method wouldn't need to be called
anymore, and:
* the install method can *always* assume the part isn't there and
that it needs to freshly install it.
* the update method can *always* assume the part is already there
and it needs to be updated (if necessary).
* we don't need to implement our 'bail-out' method in install
anymore.
Let me mull that a bit.
I like this idea. So, in the (not too distant) future, one of
install or update will be run, but not both. install will be called
when a part is not installed, and update otherwise. If a recipe
doesn't have an update method, then install will be called instead
and a warning will be issued.
