Rudder

Rudder has methods for managing files permissions, owner or ACLs, but misses a method for managing file attributes (chattr, lsattr).

There are some cases where this might be useful, i.e.:

- Vagrant (rtf) deploys some files with an immutable file attribute (i.e. resolv.conf in Debian 12 and 11 but not previous ones), so we want to remove this attibute to be able to apply directives on this file. (chattr +i, chattr -i)

- Some filesystems, i.e. BTRFS, rely on file attributes to manage specific filesystem features at directory or file level, i.e. “c” (compression) or “C” (copy on write or not) and on these filesystems, being able to manage these attributes can be critical to some specific files.
