Temporary Disposable Client Image Process

[Tim Flink]

As far as I know, the plan for handling the disposable client images
for the immediate future is to build and distribute them manually until
the real system is in place.

To that end, I figure that it'll work best to just put the compressed
images somewhere that's easy to access. I'm planning to just put them
here for now:

https://tflink.fedorapeople.org/taskotron/taskotron-cloud/images/

I'd recommend against anyone else relying on a single image too heavily
right now - this is very unlikely to be the final place we put images
if it ends up making sense to make them easily grab-able.

It occurs to me that it would be good to make them available
simply so that people can grab them to use for
troubleshooting test failures.

I can see where you're coming from but I think it's going to come down
to how customized those images are.

If they're pre-populated with a bunch of repos/data that's designed to
work inside the Fedora infrastructure, I'm not sure it'd be too useful
to anyone else.

We'll see what happens as we get to a production deployment etc.

Just as a FYI, fedorapeople is not in the same datacenter as any of the
taskotron stuff, so it may be slow to pull from there. :)
