I'm confused by the description -- they must be installed via scons install, otherwise our Debian packages would be broken / not include skins?

I think this bug is requesting the ability to "update" a mixxx install via "scons install", and that's a much more complicated feature, something that a package system is meant to handle, so I'm tempted to mark WontFix?

I think this should be fixed. Because of this annoying bug, I always run mixxx with the --resourcePath command line argument pointing to my Git repository.

@Be, to confirm what you mean by "this", you think we should keep a list of all files we've ever written to $PREFIX, so that we can delete old files on the next scons install?

For local development --resourcePath res/ is the right workflow IMO... otherwise you'd have to run scons install each time you want to run Mixxx.

Put another way, I wouldn't want to have to run scons install every time I made a skin or controller JS change during development, which is why I use --resourcePath res/.
