[Rock-dev] GitHub migration - status and next steps.

[Sylvain Joyeux]

Current State
-------------------
I've migrated rock.base and rock.toolchain to github, integrating them into
a 'rock.core' package set, adding as some other "core" packages.

I've updated the build configuration and package sets, and put the updated
configurations on github as well in order to not disrupt the current
installations "until it is ready"

It means, in practice, that one can bootstrap a github-based build using
   http://github.com/rock-core/buildconf

and https://github.com/rock-core/buildconf/raw/master/bootstrap.sh

What is left to be done
-----------------------
 - one question: should not we split the rock package set into subprojects
as well (for me, it is +1, it would make more sense from a management point
of view to have a package and its package set in the same organization)
 - one thing to do: re-create the rock.base and rock.toolchain metapackages
in rock.core to ensure smooth migration from the existing buildconfs
 - testing
 - update the gitorious package sets (that everyone is currently using) to
auto-import rock-core and the github-based rock package set.
