a show stopper when loading a project from a par file to an existing ctier

[raphy]

Hi

I am using ctier 3.4.6
I think that I found a bug in the way projects are either deleted
using workbench or are loaded from a par file.

I have done the following:

I have a working project which is quite big. I have made a backup of
it a few weeks ago, and continued to work on the existing version
adding types and object. Now for a good reason I decided I wanted to
go back to my backed up version.

I have deleted the currently existing project and reloaded the par
file from the backup on my computer.

When I try to do ctl-depot install, I get an error because the ctl-
depot is trying to load objects that were created after I have made
the backup par. I found that the deployment.properties file(taken
from the webdav) are not removed when I delete the project and are not
replaced when I load the new par.

This is a very pain full bug, because it requires me to start from a
clean ctier version.

Is there a work around for that? Is it solved in the newer versions?

Thanks

Hi Raphy,
You'll need to clean up your local CTL depot's if you are rolling back
the project model. You can do this in a couple ways.
One way is to purge all the objects and then re-run install:
ctl-depot -p demo -a purge
ctl-depot -p demo -a install

Alternatively, you could use ctl-depot's strict option "-S" with the
"install" action:
ctl-depot -p demo -a install -S
This will run "Install" on all registered deployments for that Node
but then purge the ones that are no longer registered there.
