[EP-tech] bin/import --update

Hi you all,

I want to import eprints, just to begin with their mere metadata, via

$ bin/import heidok --update --user='opus' eprint XML ~fh/eprints_export.xml
Do I see right that, in eprints version 3.3.8, the --update parameter is documented but then ignored completely? In consequence I would always have to erase all the eprints before another migration dry-run in order that entries are not duplicated, and the document IDs also cannot be kept in line with our repositories to migrate?
That would be kind of tedious as we've got to guarantee that the existing "Persistent URLs" keep what their name promises. Is there perhaps a tiny hack we can apply temporarily to have <eprintid> respected? I'd just like to avoid, if possible, to rewrite URLs based on the URN as stored in the records.
(Admit that regarding migration in the future it is a potential mistake to offer both URN and persistent URL at all. So it is likely that either of them both got cited in papers. The URN alone would have been no problem to re-register.) 


Kind regards,
Florian Heß
