Ruby Loo 76b81e1f26 Updates documentation for tox use
In order to create a virtualenv with tox, a postgresql package is needed
as a prerequisite. The dev-quickstart documentation has been updated to
reflect this.

In addition, the prerequisites for Fedora/RHEL were modified, because
mysql-devel is needed, not mysql-libs.

Fixes bug: #1227390

Developer Quick-Start
=====================
This is a quick walkthrough to get you started developing code for Ironic.
This assumes you are already familiar with submitting code reviews to
an OpenStack project.
.. seealso::
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GerritWorkflow
Ironic source code should be pulled directly from git::
cd <your source dir>
git clone https://github.com/openstack/ironic
cd ironic
Install prerequisites::
# Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install python-dev swig libssl-dev python-pip libmysqlclient-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libpq-dev
# Fedora/RHEL:
sudo yum install python-devel swig openssl-devel python-pip mysql-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel postgresql-devel
sudo easy_install nose
sudo pip install virtualenv setuptools-git flake8 tox
Setting up a local environment for development can be done with tox::
# create virtualenv
tox -evenv -- echo 'done'
# activate the virtualenv
source .tox/venv/bin/activate
# run testr init
testr init
To run the pep8/flake8 syntax and style checks::
# run pep8/flake8 checks
flake8
To run Ironic's unit test suite::
# run unit tests
testr run
When you're done, to leave the venv::
# deactivate the virtualenv
deactivate
