This aims to replace backend.py, livecd.py, yuminstall.py, installmethod.py, and perhaps image.py. It aims to depend, as far as is possible, only on ksdata for a data store. There's a lot of work-in-progress stuff still in here, but it is functional for package/group selection, configuration of repos based on method/repo cmdline args, and dependency resolution. I haven't tried to install the package sets with it, but that's not far off. The basic concept is the notion of to-be-installed software as a payload. Any payload type may or may not support repositories, groups, packages. Payload classes must specify little more than an install method, as you can see in the (completely untested) TarPayload class. One of the main things I don't like right now is the fuzzy line between the payload classes and the stuff currently in image.py. I would like to move all media handling into one place or the other. Another thing is that the line between the generic ksdata backend data store and the specifics of each payload class gets a little blurry. As an example, for YumPayload.repos, which is more useful return value? kickstart Repo instances or YumRepo instances?
