Release 1.8

Release 1.8

The most interesting change in this release is that there is now an option to disable packager group check for uploading. This is intended for other distros (that e.g. do not have the 'packager' group) to be able to use this package. You can set it in the [upload] section of /etc/dist-git/dist-git.conf:

[upload]
disable_group_check = False

See default configuration file here: https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git/blob/master/configs/dist-git/dist-git.conf

• fix python-grokmirror dep
• add lookaside_dir option, deprecate cache_dir
• defattr is not needed since rpm 4.2
• add disable_group_check configuration option for upload script
• remove link to outdated instructions
