[Ovirt-devel] Merge the puppet installs

[Bryan Kearney]

I spoke with Perry about this, and we wanted to get a quick take from 
everyone else. The puppet installer which Joey has been writing [1] can 
handle several various cases of installes (embedded cobbler or not, 
embedded dhcp or not, etc). The current appliance is driven by a similar 
puppet script and is just one variation. Currently the ovirt-appliance 
recipe is in a seperate git repo (ovirt-recipe)

We think it makes sense to merge the work Joey did into the ovit-server 
git repo. Since the installer brings in alot of stuff with it, it could 
be a subpack of the main server (ovirt-server-install) so folks could 
still install ovirt-server w/o the baggage. We could then modify the 
appliance building to use this new sub-package and deprecate the 
ovirt-recipe git repo.

Benefits to this are:
* Installer and product versioned together.
* Less git repos
* Only one puppet recipe is maintained for bare metal and appliance.
* Better testing on said recipe

Drawbacks
* Makes a big spec file a bit bigger
* More coarse grained git repos

Any concerns or alternatives to this?

Thanks!
