[openstack-dev] [glance] Use Launcher/ProcessLauncher in glance

Hi All,

I have submitted the patch "Made provision for glance service to use Launcher" to the community gerrit.
Pl refer: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/110012/

I have also set the workflow to 'work in progress'. I will start working on writing unit tests for the proposed 
changes, after positive feedback for the same.

Could you please give your comments on this.

Could you also please suggest me whether to file a launchpad bug or a blueprint,  to propose these changes in the glance project ?

Thanks,
Rajesh Tailor

Glance uses the same WSGI service launch code as the other OpenStack project from which that code was copied: Swift.

Sounds like you've identified at least one good reason to move to oslo-incubator's Launcher/ProcessLauncher. Feel free to propose patches which introduce that change to Glance. :)

Please advise your corporate IT department that the above disclaimer on your emails is annoying, is entirely disregarded by 99.999% of the real world, has no legal standing or enforcement, and may be a source of problems with people's mailing list posts being sent into spam boxes.

All the best,
