[openstack-dev] [Nova] Broken nova-lxd

Hi,

I'm cc'ing openstack-dev because your email is the same as the comment you
made on the relevant review, and I think getting visibility with the wider
Nova team is a good idea.

Unfortunately this is a risk of having an out of tree Nova driver, which
has never been the recommended path for implementing drivers for Nova.
Being out of tree isn't forbidden, but it does come with the cost of
staying up to date with Nova and handling changes as they occur.

In this case, if you look at the review chain you'll see that the move is a
pre-cursor to moving this code to use oslo.privsep. Unless lxd is going to
move to privsep in lockstep with nova, your best bet would be to duplicate
this utility method in the nova-lxd codebase.

Michael
