Public bug reported: Since the "location" and "copy-from" flags are being deprecated / reserved in the newest version of the Glance CLI for creating images, it would be useful to at least replace their functionality with something similar.
Suggest adding a flag called "--image-url" that eliminates the need to copy an image to an OpenStack account in order to use it, similar to how "--location" worked. Suggest adding a flag called "--copy-url" that allows the user to provide a URL to an existing image (e.g. on S3), where it can be copied from, similar to how "--copy-from" worked. Since some developers' needs currently depend on these features, they are forced to use the older version of the CLI, forcing them to be exposed to past bugs and potential security flaws. ** Affects: glance Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Project changed: openstack-manuals => glance ** Description changed: Since the "location" and "copy-from" flags are being deprecated / reserved in the newest version of the Glance CLI for creating images, it would be useful to at least replace their functionality with something similar.
