Question about kars vs custom distribution
I was wondering if anyone could explain the situations when you would use a
custom distribution for Karaf vs a kar with the Karaf configurations
customized? Is it preference? Or is there an advantage of one over the
other?

If you do some minor customization of Karaf config files and maybe
packaging an extra jar for the lib directory such as bouncy castle, would
that be fine with a kar? My thought is if I could prevent needing to
redeploy a distribution when I need to make a Karaf system config change
and instead just re-apply a new version of a KAR file to update the
deployments..... Not sure if that will work how I'm hoping....

Kars when you want a the full application deployed as one - custom
distribution when you have a full complex setup you need to deliver.
Ex: An application composed of a bunch of routes -- a Kar would suffice.
Ex: A full SDN controller - build a distribution such as OpenDaylight or NSOS.
