Install from repo breaks backward compatibility

[andylytical]

Branch CTT-221/aloftus/install_from_repo creates a new install method directly from the git repo as a normal user. This provides a very easy and fast (~5-10 mins) install and configuration to get up and running quickly.

As currently implemented, it changes key files that make it incompatible by anyone that already installed the tool from an older version and also breaks installing via previous methods. Before merge to main, this should be addressed.

Changes needed:

• ipf/etc/ipf/init.d/ipf-WORKFLOW
  • This file is the template init script used by configure_workflow.py.
  • The "easy installer" method described above changes this file so it works when invoked by a non-root user.
  • Suggestions:
    • Make one that can be used in either case (ie: works whether invoked by root or a non-root user)
    • Find a workaround to replacing it on the fly (maybe during setup.sh). A slight inconvenience in this approach is now there are two templates to manage.

A review of the comparison shows additional breaking changes were made. Reversing these looks like:

• RESTORE ipf/bin/ipf_configure
• RESTORE ipf/bin/ipf_workflow
• RESTORE ipf/etc/ipf/init.d/ipf-WORKFLOW
• CREATE an alternate verison of ipf/etc/ipf/init.d/ipf-WORKFLOW that will be used just for Quick Install
