Any time you want to test something, you start the overlayFS, install your autopilot test suite + deps, run the tests, and then kill the overlayFS afterwards. Nothing touches the base image. 2) Install everything into /home/phablet (or some other writable space), and patch LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHON_PATH, HOME, and a bunch of other variables. It may be obvious by now, but I far prefer the first solution. The QA department are talking with the Kernel developers to see what we can do in this department. We hope to have more information by the end of the Oakland sprint. Perhaps we can postpone this conversation until we meet in Oakland? Cheers, -- Thomi Richards [email protected]
