This fails for me too, because --flagfile is not specified (--flagfile for devstack defaults to /opt/stack/nova/bin/nova.conf). If there is a way to specify flagfile via env variable, we could add it to openrc.

well one possibly reasonable work around is to delete those, and set PATH appropriately, so that it finds the stuff in /opt/stack/nova/bin.

you can absolutely set the PATH for the screen session, and even on sourcing of openrc.

Vish was wanting us to put the conf files in /etc/nova.

But that might make having multiple versions of openstack on a system
harder?

I'd be more inline with vish - install the conf files to /etc - and if
you want multple versions on the same box, use virtualization. No?

i would be happy enough if nothing was installed in /usr/local, but PATH/environment was configured correctly to use the write programs. Easy enough to set that all up in openrc or some other sourcable file.

I dont really think that multiple decstack installations (avoiding /etc) is necessary for devstack. I think most use it us an ephemeral system if some sort.

Checking the extent of the problem:

Nova: $(dirname $0)/*, /etc/nova/*

KSL: etc/keystone.conf

Glance: /etc/glance/*, etc/*

Swift: appears to use config/*

Nova is the only project that doesn't yet use a config dir under the top-level installation directory. Symlinking /etc/nova/nova.conf to /opt/stack/nova/bin/nova.conf appears to solve this problem. Solving the larger problem of project config file placement seems to be a low (non-existant?) priority
