VyOS 1.2.0 repository re-structuring

In preparation for the new 1.2.0 (jessie-based) beta release, we are re-populating the package repositories. The old repositories are now archived, you still can find then in the /legacy/repos directory on dev.packages.vyos.net

The purpose of this is two-fold. First, the old repo got quite messy, and Debian people (rightfully!) keep reminding us about it, but it would be difficult to do a gradual cleanup. Second, since the CI server has moved, and so did the build hosts, we need to test how well the new procedures are working. And, additionally, it should tell us if we are prepared to restore VyOS from its source should anything happen to the packages.vyos.net server or its contents.

For perhaps a couple of days, there will be no new nightly builds, and you will not be able to build ISOs yourself, unless you change the repo path in ./configure options by hand. Stay tuned.
