[Gt-eos] GCT build system

[Mischa Salle]

Hi Mátyás,

it's for Mattias Ellert to further decide what to do, but in any case,
it makes sense to me to only make src, not binary RPMs.

Personally I'm not sure I would like to have binary RPMs directly made
by travis. I don't know whether it could produce signed RPMs from it,
a koji-based approach seems more reasonable. Perhaps we can use
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/
For 'our' RPMs we could also use the open(suse) build service, which
produces signed RPMs, but copr seems more logical.
For debs, I would say it might be better to just use the src
distribution tarball, since you typically also want to sign the src
packages, and do a manual update of the changelog.

But perhaps Mattias has different ideas?

    Cheers,
    Mischa
