stackrc DevStack settings
-------------------------

``stackrc`` is the primary configuration file for DevStack. It contains
all of the settings that control the services started and the
repositories used to download the source for those services. ``stackrc``
sources the ``localrc`` section of ``local.conf`` to perform the default
overrides.

DATABASE\_TYPE
    Select the database backend to use. The default is ``mysql``,
    ``postgresql`` is also available.
ENABLED\_SERVICES
    Specify which services to launch. These generally correspond to
    screen tabs. The default includes: Glance (API and Registry),
    Keystone, Nova (API, Certificate, Object Store, Compute, Network,
    Scheduler, VNC proxies, Certificate Authentication), Cinder
    (Scheduler, API, Volume), Horizon, MySQL, RabbitMQ, Tempest.

    Other services that are not enabled by default can be enabled in
    ``localrc``. For example, to add Swift, use the following service
    names:

    ::

        enable_service s-proxy s-object s-container s-account

    A service can similarly be disabled:

    ::

        disable_service horizon

Service Repos
    The Git repositories used to check out the source for each service
    are controlled by a pair of variables set for each service.
    ``*_REPO`` points to the repository and ``*_BRANCH`` selects which
    branch to check out. These may be overridden in ``local.conf`` to
    pull source from a different repo for testing, such as a Gerrit
    branch proposal. ``GIT_BASE`` points to the primary repository
    server.

    ::

        NOVA_REPO=$GIT_BASE/openstack/nova.git
        NOVA_BRANCH=master

    To pull a branch directly from Gerrit, get the repo and branch from
    the Gerrit review page:

    ::

        git fetch https://review.openstack.org/p/openstack/nova refs/changes/50/5050/1 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD

    The repo is the stanza following ``fetch`` and the branch is the
    stanza following that:

    ::

        NOVA_REPO=https://review.openstack.org/p/openstack/nova
        NOVA_BRANCH=refs/changes/50/5050/1
