binaries should report versions

[dan wendlandt]

Both our server and client binaries do not seem to have good output describing their version. This is particularly important for the server.

danwent@ubuntu:~/quantum$ quantum-server --version
%quantum-server VERSION

danwent@ubuntu:~/quantum$ quantum --version
Usage: quantum [OPTIONS] <command> [args]

quantum: error: --version option requires an argument

Hi,
 Current status:
clients:
glance client has --version to display version
nova client has no such option
keystone client has no such option
quantum client has this option, but used to select which api is used.

servers:
nova servers such as nova-compute etc have no such option
keystone-all has no such option
glance api has this option to show version and exit
quantum-server has, but with wrong text output.

So I think this issue is just needed to fix quantum-server side.

Hi,

I would like to fix this bug to get acquanted to quantum code, but i am fairly new to quantum and would like some help. Can you please guide me about where to find the required file and function.

[Harsh Prasad (prasad-tanay)]

Would the output of the following format acceptable for version information:

tanay@tanay-Inspiron-1545:~/openstack/quantum$ quantum-server --version
%quantum-server 2012.2-dev

Please tell if version is to be given in some particular or different format.

Hi harsh, yes, that looks great.

Yong, I agree, only fixing the server makes sense. I hadn't realized that the --version flag was used by the client to let the client specify the API version. Now the client's output makes more sense.

    Binaries should report versions.

    Bug #1004966.

    Added the version_string() and removed the extra '%' for the quantum-server binary.
