[Gt-eos] gtk source repo location

[Brian Lin]

Frank,

Does this mean that we can keep the repository name the same (e.g. just 
fork it in GitHub)? How about the EPEL/Debian/Ubuntu packaging? That 
would certainly make life easier for everyone all around and we'd just 
have to worry about the name of the GitHub org.

Thanks,
Brian
