I'd also like to request the following: if no --config argument is found, and EUCA2OOLS_CFG is set (or some other environment variable) then it expected to have a path to a config file. ie:
# read default config unset EUCA2OOLS_CFG; euca-describe-instances # read /tmp/my.env.eucarc export EUCA2OOLS_CFG=/tmp/my.env.eucarc; euca-describe-instances # read /tmp/my.cmdline.cfg unset EUCA2OOLS_CFG; euca-describe-instances --config /tmp/my.cmdline.cfg # read /tmp/my.cmdline.cfg export EUCA2OOLS_CFG=/tmp/my.env.eucarc; euca-describe-instances --config /tmp/my.cmdline.cfg The benefit of this is that tools that invoke the euca2ools can be blissfully ignorant of --config, rather than having to explicitly support it. -- euca2ools should read config and credentials from config file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/485106 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to euca2ools in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
