My approach would be to improve the catalog adapters. Even if you
stick to the behavior implemented in setuphandlers.py it would have
been easier and more straight forward to implement it in a subclass of
ZCatalogXMLAdapter, overriding the default adapter.
I have tried this initially but found it impossible to "override" the
existing adapter for IZCatalog. I always got complaints from the adapter
machinery about duplicate registrations. I may be missing something here...
Did you try it using an overrides.zcml file? Works for me - at least
with other adapters.
But fixing some general catalog adapter issues will make your special
behavior obsolete:
- The adapters should compare the new settings with the existing ones
and make sure indexes are only updated if they are actually changed.
This is not implemented so far.
- The adapters should modify existing indexes if the profile contains
new settings. This is not implemented for the 'extra' elements.
- Reindexing might be very expensive. That's the reason why
GenericSetup does no reindexing, you have to do it manually. We need a
better solution for that, maybe some bookkeeping which indexes need to
be reindexed and a button in the setup tool that triggers reindexing.
+1 on all accounts
As always: contributions are welcome...
Cheers,
Yuppie
