PR: Fixes for running provision on an existing site. #210
When running the islandora-playbook on an existing site, the "import features" task now fails with the following error:
This is due to the issue Change abstract from string to text #1977
This raises the fact that the playbook is running an import features task that should not be necessary after the module is installed.
Since we have decided to not try and alter the schema, as discussed in recent tech calls, we should remove this step so that re-running the playbook on an existing site (a normal feature of Ansible to keep running servers updated) should not drastically alter an existing site.
That said, an update hook to change an existing site's field schema would still be helpful for users who do want to keep up with Islandora changes, but that's for a separate ticket and discussion.
