+# This file indicates where each package should be obtained from when running the integration test
+# suite. This file must be renamed to repos.conf to be used by the framework.
+#
+# Specific branches can be fetched by setting a PACKAGE_* variable to "branch:[name]", where
+# "[name]" is the name of the branch. For example, the master branch can be fetched by setting the
+# variable to "branch:master".
+#
+# A specific Gerrit patchset can be obtained by setting PACKAGE_* to "gerrit:[change],[patchset]",
+# where "[change]" is the change number and "[patchset]" is the patchset number. For example, change
+# 8888, patchset 1 can be obtained by setting the variable to "gerrit:8888,1".
+#
+# Specifying "local" uses a local version of the package, located in a subdirectory of the
+# integration tests directory named "packages". Within "packages", each local package must be in a
+# directory with the same name as the upstream repository (e.g., ndn-cxx would be in a directory
+# named "packages/ndn-cxx" and NFD would be in a directory named "packages/NFD").
+#
+# If undefined, the source of a package will default to "branch:master".
+
+#PACKAGE_NDNCXX=branch:master
+#PACKAGE_NFD=branch:master
+#PACKAGE_NDNTOOLS=branch:master
+#PACKAGE_NDNTRAFFIC=branch:master
+#PACKAGE_REPONG=branch:master
