[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to remaster the OpenIndiana's usb/iso image?

[Till Wegmueller]

We use distro constructor to build our images. But It's definitely not 
easy to use.

BTW what do you want to accomplish? It sounds like that you try to make 
OI confine to a workflow that you are used to which does not exist here. 
Have you tried using exising workflows from OI first to get yourself 
familiar?

Do you need a system to compile things and throw awaY? Have a look into 
zones and vagrant. We even have scripts in oi-userland to use zones for 
clean builds. And officially supported vagrant images. including a 
vagrantfile in oi-userland so you can just type "vagrant up" in the repo 
root and it gets you a complete environment to compile and package 
software. No need to reinvent the wheel here.

After that, using lofiadm to make a .zlib image of that directory to replace the .zlib image on the OI usb/iso image. Then using appropriate tools to rebuild the OI usb/iso image.
