[jira] [Commented] (JCRVLT-151) Create a task-based package manager REST api

["Konrad Windszus (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-151?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15937980#comment-15937980 ] 

Konrad Windszus commented on JCRVLT-151:
----------------------------------------

A synchronous (blocking) mode should be supported as well, which allows easy scripting (e.g. with curl) and get proper return values (either success/failure with a failure message) with just one single request.

> 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
> previous work:
