Steve Baker 0eb93cbf33 Use setuptools to install contrib plugins
This change creates a pbr setup.cfg and specifies a data_files
entry to install the contrib plugin source into the /usr/lib/heat
plugin directory.

This change also temporarily disables docs building for contrib
resoures until the transition to stevedore is fully complete.

Heat Keystone V2

This plugin is a Keystone V2 compatible client. It can be used to replace the default client for clouds running older versions of Keystone.

Some forward compatibility decisions had to be made:

  • Stack domain users are created as users on the stack owner's tenant rather than the stack's domain
  • Trusts are not supported

Installation

  1. From this directory run: sudo python ./setup.py install

  2. Set the keystone_backend option to heat.engine.plugins.heat_keystoneclient_v2.client.KeystoneClientV2

How it works

By setting the keystone_backend option, the KeystoneBackend class in heat/common/heat_keystoneclient.py will instantiate the plugin KeystoneClientV2 class and use that instead of the default client in heat/common/heat_keystoneclient.py.
