Add missed steps in the installation process for running tests.
Mongodb and libmysqlclient-dev packages need to be installed for
Ubuntu12.04 and mongodb and mariadb-devel.x86_64 (or .i386)
need to be installed on Fedora20.

=========================
Working with the Source
=========================
Setting up a Development Sandbox
================================
1. Set up a server or virtual machine to run OpenStack using
devstack_.
.. _devstack: http://www.devstack.org/
2. Clone the ceilometer project to the machine::
$ cd /opt/stack
$ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/ceilometer
$ cd ./ceilometer
3. Once this is done, you need to setup the review process::
$ git remote add gerrit ssh://<username>@review.openstack.org:29418/openstack/ceilometer.git
4. If you are preparing a patch, create a topic branch and switch to
it before making any changes::
$ git checkout -b TOPIC-BRANCH
Running the Tests
=================
Ceilometer includes an extensive set of automated unit tests which are
run through tox_.
1. Install ``tox``::
$ sudo pip install tox
2. On Ubuntu install ``mongodb`` and ``libmysqlclient-dev`` packages::
$ sudo apt-get install mongodb
$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
For Fedora20 there is no ``libmysqlclient-dev`` package, so youll need
to install ``mariadb-devel.x86-64`` (or ``mariadb-devel.i386``) instead::
$ sudo yum install mongodb
$ sudo yum install mariadb-devel.x86_64
3. Install the test dependencies::
$ sudo pip install -r /opt/stack/ceilometer/test-requirements.txt
4. Run the unit and code-style tests::
$ cd /opt/stack/ceilometer
$ tox -e py27,pep8
As tox is a wrapper around testr, it also accepts the same flags as testr.
See the `testr documentation`_ for details about these additional flags.
.. _testr documentation: https://testrepository.readthedocs.org/en/latest/MANUAL.html
Use a double hyphen to pass options to testr. For example, to run only tests under tests/api/v2::
$ tox -e py27 -- api.v2
To debug tests (ie. break into pdb debugger), you can use ''debug'' tox
environment. Here's an example, passing the name of a test since you'll
normally only want to run the test that hits your breakpoint::
$ tox -e debug ceilometer.tests.test_bin
For reference, the ``debug`` tox environment implements the instructions
here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Testr#Debugging_.28pdb.29_Tests

Code Reviews
============
Ceilometer uses the OpenStack review process for all code and
developer documentation contributions. Code reviews are managed
through gerrit.
