<tt><font size="2">Before we had devstack plugins, we had a kind of janky extras.d<br>
mechanism. A bunch of projects implemented some odd copy / paste<br>
mechanism in test jobs to use that in unexpected / unsupported ways.<br>
<br>
We've had devstack plugins for about 10 months. They provide a very "pro<br>
user" experience by letting you enable arbitrary plugins with:<br>
<br>
enable_plugin $name git://git.openstack.org/openstack/$project [$branch]<br>
<br>
They have reasonable documentation here<br>

<br>
We're now getting to the point where some projects like Magnum are<br>
getting into trouble trying to build jobs with projects like Barbican,<br>
because Magnum uses devstack plugins, and Barbican has some odd non<br>
plugin copy paste method. Building composite test jobs are thus really<br>
wonky.<br>
<br>
This is a heads up that at Mitaka 1 milestone the extras.d support will<br>
be removed. The copy / paste method was never supported, and now it will<br>
explicitly break. Now would be a great time for teams to prioritize<br>
getting to the real plugin architecture.<br>
