[oi-dev] How to create an ISO correctly?

[Gary Mills]

Another progress report and some questions: I have now replaced all
v9os packages with oi-userland packages.  There are no v9os packages
left.  My T2000 has only oi-userland packages, ones that I have built.
It boots correctly.  The publisher name is oi-userland, not the usual
userland or openindiana.org .  That difference raises my first
question.

I've read the information on distribution-constructor:

    http://docs.openindiana.org/dev/distribution-constructor/

as well as the man page for distro_const .  Neither of them answered
my questions completely.

Will distro_const change the publisher in the ISO file, both for the
packages and the `pkg publisher' command?  How do I do this?

If not, can the publisher be changed on the host system?  Does the
publisher in `pkg publisher' have to match the one in the file
repository?

I see that the XML file used by distro_const specifies `entire' as the
package that includes all the packages to install to the ISO file.
My system has no package `entire'.  How do I create and populate it?
Will it include some packages that do not exist?  Will this be a
problem?

Finally, how do I create a USB image from the CD image?
