Fabric

This seems to work correctly right now, going by the code. Partly my fault for not filing a more detailed ticket — but if task A sets env.hosts to a list of >1 host, then yes, env.all_hosts will be set to that new host list upon execution of a task B, and thus get calls inside task B will — correctly! — use hostname append to differentiate the downloads.

Revert that, working with Morgan to write a test for this, which should be done even if it’s currently working.

A test fabfile:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from fabric.api import get, env

def setup():
    env.hosts = ['somehost.com']

def setup2():
    env.hosts = ['somehost.com', 'somehost2.com']

def a():
    get('~/test.cpp', '/tmp/')

There are two behaviors that are desired here. First with:

fab setup a

That there only be test.cpp in /tmp/. The second being that with:

fab setup2 a

That now there are two files created with suffix that are their respective origin hosts. In testing this it looks good. So the ticket seems to have been solved in the further development of Fabric.
