tools for building cloud images in the buildsystem

[Matt_Domsch at Dell.com]

The key to license compliance is to post the SRPMs corresponding to the bits in the image, concurrent with the image, and on the same lifetime, so people have the opportunity (not the requirement) to download the SRPMs when they download the image.

If they choose not to download the SRPMs at that time, and you delete both the image and SRPMs concurrently, then the user is out of luck if they later decide they want the SRPMs, but it's not a violation on your part.

I was thinking we'd generate the releases in the same way, but am willing to
be disabused of that notion.
