Comparing site's ACL defined in source code with its value written to db

Hi all!

I would like to compare site's ACL (https://github.com/Kotti/Kotti/blob/1.3.0-alpha.4/kotti/security.py#L208-L213) defined in source code with site's ACL from db (https://github.com/Kotti/Kotti/blob/1.3.0-alpha.4/kotti/resources.py#L789, https://github.com/Kotti/Kotti/blob/1.3.0-alpha.4/kotti/resources.py#L239) so that whenever ACL is changed in source code the value of ACL in db would be updated.

However due to ACL read from db being ACLType wrapped in MutationList I don't know how to compare this value with ACL in source code which is plain Python list.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Piotr Dobrogost

Why not just set it in you populator unconditionally?

Well, I wanted to avoid writing it to db during each start of app if there was no change in ACL.

I don't see how selecting, comparing and then maybe updating saves you
anything over updating a single column unconditionally. IMO not worth
the effort, unless you have another reason for doing so.
