/usr/local/{sbin,bin} is a standardised location for admins to install
non-distro executables, and these executables are no less "trustworthy"
than /usr/bin and friends. See neutron and cinder's rootwrap.conf (and
probably others), and typical distro default values for
sudoers/secure_path for extremely similar precedents that all include
/usr/local/*bin.
In particular, some sort of change like this is required for
oslo.privsep to find its "privsep-helper" executable in
devstack (installed into /usr/local/bin via pip). The only open
question (imo) is whether this change is made here in nova (and any
other project that doesn't already have this), or rootwrap.conf is
modified in the same way at "deployment time" by devstack and other
deployment methods. Doing it here means it is far more likely to "just
work" for the common case of installing at least one affected command
into /usr/local.
See I710cf142b834381c00e651cfc062299ae755c33f for some brief discussion
of doing this via devstack, and pointers to earlier neutron, etc
discussion.

OpenStack Nova README
OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.
OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.
To keep updated with new developments in the OpenStack project follow @openstack on Twitter.
To learn how to deploy OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:
For information about the different compute (hypervisor) drivers supported by Nova, read this page on the wiki:
In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
