Description Jiri Jaburek 2012-07-24 16:07:35 UTC

This RFE basically requests something like --namespace option for rlFileBackup / rlFileRestore.

Each namespace would be separate and rlFileRestoreable on its own, unaffecting other namespaces.

Example:

# BEGIN
rlFileBackup --namespace blah /etc/passwd
rlFileBackup /etc/group

echo junk >> /etc/passwd
echo junk2 >> /etc/group

rlFileRestore --namespace blah
# END

This would restore only /etc/passwd, leaving "junk2" in /etc/group.

One use case example, that would benefit from this feature, is zmraz's kerberos testing library. In general - any custom test library, which has its own init+cleanup functions, could benefit from it.

I've sent a patch to the beakerlib-devel mailing list, see ie. https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/beakerlib-devel/2012-October/000020.html .
