[Bug 1043582] Re: lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud --userdata ignores userdata

[Serge Hallyn]

Verified in precise-proposed.

** Description changed:

  ====================================
  SRU Justification
  1. Impact: --userdata argument is ignored
  2. Development fix: get full path to userdata script before switching cwd
  3. Stable fix: same as development fix
  4. Test case: See the recipe below in bug description
  5. Regression potential: none
  ====================================
  
  $ sudo lxc-destroy -n  maas
  $ cat my-userdata
  #!/bin/sh
  ifconfig eth0 > /ifconfig-eth0
  
  $ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n maas -- \
-    --release=precise --arch=amd64 --auth-key=$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub   \
+    --release precise --arch amd64 --auth-key $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub   \
     --userdata my-userdata
  
  $ sudo cat /var/lib/lxc/maas/rootfs/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/user-data
  #cloud-config
  output: {all: '| tee -a /var/log/cloud-init-output.log'}
  apt-mirror: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

  Basically, --userdata was ignored entirely.
