Description

Journal based distribution supports different  package handling modes, see https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-distribution-journal/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/distribution/journal/bookkeeper/PackageHandling.java

 

We should document those modes in  https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/content-distribution.html and provide examples on how the modes can be used.

The typical example is distributing a large tree with a single content package. The package is built using FileVault APIs and distributed as a payload which gets auto-installed at the destination.
