[Bug 870405] [NEW] nova-manage providing filename to default_flagfile breaks devstack

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu is carrying a patch nova-manage_flagfile_location.patch, for quite some time.
(timestamp: Tue 2010-11-23 12:17:09 +0100)

I've just noticed that if you try to run out of a source directory with
that patch applied and without specifying --flagfile, that you will
essentially get no flag file.  This is different than the default case,
where running like './bin/nova' will use './bin/nova.conf'.

Obviously the ./bin/nova.conf path is somewhat silly, but many dev
scripts (devstack, nova.sh) expect that that file will be used when
invoking nova.

As a result, I can't run 'devstack' right now.
