Description

TCL is hard to use and harder to maintain. We should switch to an RPM image

Work is already underway to integrate with oVirt as they have a solid, well-tested process for building ISOs. The plan is to

1) Make Discovery work with a modified version of their kickstarts (see: https://github.com/GregSutcliffe/ovirt-node/tree/foreman-wip for a start)
2) Refactor ovirt-node into a "base" image + plugins (one plugin to create the oVirt ISO, one plugin to create Discovery ISO)
3) Add optional nice to have stuff (like 3rd party facts, etc)

See http://www.ovirt.org/Node_Building#Build_Process_for_oVirt_Node for how to build an ISO, and https://github.com/GregSutcliffe/ovirt-node/blob/foreman-wip/recipe/build.sh for my hacked-up script variant.
