[Bug 1851517] Re: No ``ovn-trace`` binary distributed with the binary packages

[Frode Nordahl]

** Description changed:

  The ``ovn-trace`` (8) utility is currently not distributed as part of
  any package.
  
  I believe it would be a valuable addition.
  
- The tool works by reading data from the Southbound database, and as such
- it could be consumed from either the machines hosting the central OVN
- components or any machine participating in the network as a chassis.
+ The tool works by reading data from the Southbound database and the
+ local Open vSwitch instance, and as such it would be best consumed from
+ machines participating in the network as a chassis.
  
  Being an administrative aide, I would suggest to distribute it in the
- ``ovn-common`` package together with the other ovn-*ctl binaries.
+ ``ovn-common`` package together with the other ovn-*ctl binaries,
+ failing that ``ovn-host`` could also be a suitable home.
