Basics
~~~~~~
* Our source code is hosted on StackForge_ GitHub, but please do not send pull
requests there.
* Please follow usual OpenStack `Gerrit Workflow`_ to submit a patch.
* Update change log in README.rst on any significant change.
* It goes without saying that any code change should by accompanied by unit
tests.
* Note the branch you're proposing changes to. ``master`` is the current focus
of development, use ``stable/VERSION`` for proposing an urgent fix, where
``VERSION`` is the current stable series. E.g. at the moment of writing the
stable branch is ``stable/0.2``.

Development Environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First of all, install *tox* utility. It's likely to be in your distribution
repositories under name of ``python-tox``. Alternatively, you can install it
from PyPI.
Next checkout and create environments::
git clone https://github.com/stackforge/ironic-discoverd.git
cd ironic-discoverd
tox
Repeat *tox* command each time you need to run tests. If you don't have Python
interpreter of one of supported versions (currently 2.7 and 3.3), use
``-e`` flag to select only some environments, e.g.
::
tox -e py27
.. note::
Support for Python 3 is highly experimental, stay with Python 2 for the
production environment for now.
Run with::
.tox/py27/bin/ironic-discoverd example.conf
Of course you may have to modify ``example.conf`` to match your OpenStack
environment.
