Bug Description

After ML2, the Open vSwitch and Linux Bridge plug-ins became mechanisms/agents. However, the configuration files for these agents, particularly OVS with ovs_neutron_plugin.ini, generates confusion. Furthermore, distributions that package OpenStack take different routes for configuring these agents. With OVS in particular, some distributions add the agent configuration to ml2_conf.ini and others continue to use ovs_neutron_plugin.ini. These issues particularly impact documentation [1][2] such as the installation guide that provides step-by-step instructions on multiple distributions and the (upcoming) networking guide that attempts to provide several deployable distro-agnostic scenarios with step-by-step instructions.

I suggest either using ml2_conf.ini for OVS and LB agent configuration or renaming the configuration files to something more meaningful and consistent. For example, ml2_conf_ovs.ini, ml2_conf_linuxbridge.ini, ovs_agent.ini or linuxbridge_agent.ini.

Review: https://review.openstack.org/196701
Reason: This is lacking the functional fix [1], so I'll propose a new merge commit which includes that one.

    Remove failing SafeFixture tests

    The fixtures 1.3 release attempted to fix the fixtures resource
    leak issue, but failed to do so completely. Our own SafeFixture
    is still needed: The 1.3 release broke our SafeFixture tests,
    but not the usage of SafeFixture itself. This patch removes
    those failing tests for now to unbreak the gate. Jakub reported
    a bug on fixtures 1.3:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-fixtures/+bug/1469759

    We will continue to use SafeFixture until that bug is fixed
    in fixtures, at which point we will be able to require
    fixtures > 1.3.

    Revert "Removed test_lib module"

    This reverts commit 9a6536de6e1a7fe9b2552adc142e254426b82b6f.

    We pulled all of the plugins out of the tree, many of which still inherit
    from neutron test classes. This change then stated that we no longer
    support testing other plugins. I think this is a bit premature and should
    have been discussed under the subject
    "Neutron plugins can't use neutron plugin unit tests" or something
    similar.

    Refactor NetcatTester class

    Following capabilities were added:
       - used transport protocol is passed as a constant instead of bool
       - src port for testing was added
       - connection can be established explicitly
       - change constructor parameters of NetcatTester

    As a part of removing bool for protocol definition
    get_free_namespace_port() was also modified to match the behavior.

    Disable pylint job

    Disabling pylint until it gets unbroken. Pylint 1.4.1 is using
    logilab-common, which had a release on the 30th, breaking pylint.
    Pylint developers are planning a logilab-common release tomorrow
    which should unbreak pylint once again, at which point I'll
    re-enable pylint.

    requirements to setup.py from a custom build hook. These requirements
    can now be expressed in requirements.txt. We need to move them there
    so that the global requirements sync job can continue to keep setup.py
