Details of the enhancements:
============================

* gbs 0.16 release:
  - introduce new subcommand 'createimage/cr', to create image using ks file
  - performance optimization:
    * put all build roots in a individual directory, which can be mounted as 
tmpfs
      to speed up building, based on our experimental build time can save 50%. 
We
      use 800 Tizen packages as test data, without tmpfs, gbs spent about 5 
hours
      to build all packages, but with tmpfs enabled, only 2h, 25mins spent
    * avoid export multiple times for packages contain multiple spec files
    * refine createrepo by using --update to speed up
