Description of problem: 1. EC2 Registration requires name parameter, which is not strictly necessary. This results in an error which appears like the following: "register_image() takes at least 2 non-keyword arguments (1 given)" 2. There is a more pressing error in that it providing Amazon with the wrong field to describe the image location, which is resulting in the inability to register any image. Specifically, "The parameter Location is not recognized" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.9b-1.fc12 How reproducible: Every time register_image is used Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to use register_image 2. 3. Actual results: Failure Expected results: Success Additional info: This has been fixed upstream, and is a very simple fix, but a new release has not been issued and Fedora is hosting the unpatched version. Until they make a new release, it is impossible to register an image on EC2, which for our purposes is a pretty significant issue. The patch can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/boto/source/detail?r=1448#
This issue is not only fixed upstream, it's already backported to Fedora! If nobody tests what is in updates-testing and adds positive karma, the update will never make it into stable updates... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 561216 ***
