We use distro constructor to build our images. But It's definitely not
easy to use.
BTW what do you want to accomplish? It sounds like that you try to make
OI confine to a workflow that you are used to which does not exist here.
Have you tried using exising workflows from OI first to get yourself
familiar?
Do you need a system to compile things and throw awaY? Have a look into
zones and vagrant. We even have scripts in oi-userland to use zones for
clean builds. And officially supported vagrant images. including a
vagrantfile in oi-userland so you can just type "vagrant up" in the repo
root and it gets you a complete environment to compile and package
software. No need to reinvent the wheel here.

Let me describe what I wanted to do. For example, the OI live system doesn't
have the compiler tool chain installed. I want to make a usb/iso image of OI
with the build-essential package installed. How could I do it?
I imagined the procedure could be:
Install OI into disk. Update the system and install the build-essential
package. Then using rsync to sync the running system into a directory. Extract
the OI usb/iso image. After that, using lofiadm to make a .zlib image of that
directory to replace the .zlib image on the OI usb/iso image. Then using
appropriate tools to rebuild the OI usb/iso image.
Would that work? Thanks.
p/s: It's much better if OI has the graphical tools to help doing it like MX
Linux does, though.
