Open Stack

Hi all,
  I was wondering if there was a neat way to override the settings file
present in the devstack plugin stackforge project.

For eg: stackforge/devstack-plugin-glusterfs

I plan to use `enable_plugin glusterfs <repo>` in my local to setup
GlusterFS backend for openstack

But I am forced to use the settings that the above repo has.

Is there a way for the user setting up devstack to use plugin  but specify
his/her own settings file ?

I guess not, and i see 2 ways of doing it - both not the best solutions
tho':

1) create settings.multi-backend, settings.blah-blah etc in the stackforge
project and have an optional [settings] arg to the enable_plugin which
tells devstack which settings file to source

2) Create different gitref's (branches) for each version of settings file
one want to support and use that gitref in the enable_plugin to clone

Both of these need the plugin dev's co-operation

I was hoping it would be good if there was a way for backend specific
options in the settings file to be overridden by the end user, that ways
he/she can use the plugin and still override the backend specific options
based on the local env

Thoughts ?

thanx,
deepak
