Thanks for pointing out, but that exactly is the issue instead of people trying to work around their way using different repos we need something functional as part of opencontrail project that can be integrated with CI-CD process. So that as the project evolves a stable/running devstack environment is ensured by some basic CI testing.
And that can be added to the "getting started" documentation.
