add --overwrite-cache option #75

Closed adaugherity closed 2 years ago

adaugherity commented 6 years ago

I had previously installed Plone 5.0 into an instance at /opt/plone/plone5_dev, and later tried to install 5.1 into /opt/plone/plone51_dev, but buildout failed due to missing eggs. I discovered this was due to:

Found existing buildout cache at /opt/plone/buildout-cache\; skipping step.

(Yes, the \; is printed, but I assume that was done for a good reason, e.g. compatibility with non-bash sh?)

My solution is to add an option that forces extraction of the buildout tarball, even if the cache directory exists. As eggs are versioned, that should be reasonably safe, but I will leave the default to not do so.

I will add a changelog entry (is /HISTORY.txt the right place?) if this PR is acceptable. Feedback anyone?
