What is buildbot_steps.yml for?

[paulrouget]

In #12688, I've added the scripts to etc/ci/buildbot_steps.yml, but apparently, saltfs' buildbot/master/files/config/steps.yml is the one that needs to be updated.

Can someone explain what etc/ci/buildbot_steps.yml is for?

We are in the process of switching over to in-tree steps.yml:
https://github.com/servo/saltfs/blob/aa9171bb5f095b7710afca717920dbc36ebdc989/buildbot/master/files/config/factories.py#L299

But I think that we're still primarily using the builders that point at the older hard-coded rules. Is that right @edunham @shinglyu @aneeshusa ?

Yeah, we're still using the hard-coded rules (which live in the saltfs repo) right now.
