Description

This will be an addition to the package manager java API.

define a REST/HTTP API for Apache Sling that can be used to manage the packages in a JCR repository.

it should support all the major API operations:

• create, upload, define, build, rewrap, download, rename, delete

the installation / uinstallation should be implemented as tasks that do their job in background threads and don't block the request threads:

• schedule install task(s)
• schedule uninstall task(s)
• list task(s)
• start/stop/resume/abort tasks
