Hi Gary,

This has been proposed other times and the result of those discussions
has always been that we won't be adding these flags back explicitly.

The reason I mention explicitly is because there's a work-in-progress to
change and improve the image import process so that we'd have something
consistent, discoverable and interoperable. You can follow that work
here:  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/232371/

I'm marking this as won't fix. If you have further questions, please
don't hesitate to ask.

Title:
  Introduce Functionality to Replace "location" and "copy-from" Flags
  for Glance Image Creation

Status in Glance:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Since the "location" and "copy-from" flags are being deprecated /
  reserved in the newest version of the Glance CLI for creating images,
  it would be useful to at  least replace their functionality with
  something similar.

  Suggest adding a flag called "--image-url" that eliminates the need to
  copy an image to an OpenStack account in order to use it, similar to
  how "--location" worked.

  Suggest adding a flag called "--copy-url" that allows the user to
  provide a URL to an existing image (e.g. on S3), where it can be
  copied from, similar to how "--copy-from" worked.

  Since some developers' needs currently depend on these features, they
  are forced to use the older version of the CLI, exposing them to past
  bugs and potential security flaws.
