Description

If the user specifies --no-deploy or they decline the sync, then they'll never run into this. But for users that want to use a manual workflow, this will be a problem since there isn't a manual deploy process that doesn't do a sync. Thinking about two alternatives:

  • Add options to pyproject.toml to say "don't manage the packages on the rio"
  • Add a robotpy installer deploy which only deploys the code, and doesn't do all of the fancy things that the robotpy deploy command does

... I'm sorta attracted to the second option because I'd rather not have configuration options. Maybe call it robotpy installer only-deploy or robotpy installer deploy-only? Sorta like with git having plumbing and porcelain commands.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing robotpy deploy command and the proposed robotpy installer deploy or deploy-only entry point. Compare the two proposed approaches and confirm how a manual workflow can deploy code without synchronizing packages. Done means a documented, tested path preserves manually installed packages while still deploying the code.
