[Bug 1483063] [NEW] Incorrect Glance image metadata description

 

Public bug reported:

For each images, when user clicks on Edit Image --> Update Metadata, the
list of various available metadata categories and properties is
displayed in a pop-up window. For each category and property, a user-
friendly description is displayed at the bottom of the pop-up.

The description for "Common Operating System Properties" category says -
"When adding an image to Glance, you may specify some common image
properties that may prove useful to consumers of your image." This is
too generic and seems like a copy-paste of the description from glance-
common-image-props.json that the author later failed to update.

For all the other categories it shows a better description of what they
denote. Eg: for "Database Software" (software-databases.json) it says"A
database is an organized collection of data. The data is typically
organized to model aspects of reality in a way that supports processes
requiring information. Database management systems are computer software
applications that interact with the user, other applications, and the
database itself to capture and analyze data.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database)"


Expected description:
Details of the Operating System contained within this image as well as common Operating System properties that must be set on a VM instance created from this image.

Actual description: 
When adding an image to Glance, you may specify some common image properties that may prove useful to consumers of your image.
