Public bug reported:

Hi,

inside file ovs_neutron_agent.py and  ofa_neutron_agent.py there is an
absolute path on call udevadm program.

In this case an absolute path is not the best solution because on
different distro path could be different. For example on gentoo distro
udevadm path is /usr/bin/udevadm.

About this there are two solutions:

a) use directly name of the program without absolute path , so in this
case only "udevadm" (Eventually add note that this program must be
present on PATH of the neutron agent/daemon.

b) manage a variable like root_helper , for example udevadm_helper to
permit configuration of the path from configuration file.


Probably solution a could be sufficient in this case.

Thanks
Geaaru
