[jira] [Commented] (KARAF-1551) Kar service should not install the kar contents into the system dir

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1551?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13295589#comment-13295589 ] 

Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on KARAF-1551:
---------------------------------------------

Previously, we extracted the kar into data/local-repo. As requested by users, I updated to populate the system repo. 

I'm fine to move the kar location to data/kar for instance.

> The system dir should be treated read only. 
> Currently the kar service unpacks the contents of the kar into the karaf system repo. This changes the karaf distro which makes uninstalling the kar more difficult. Additonally the system dir may be in a location that is read only.
> So I propose we extract the kar contents into a subdirectory of the data dir named after the feature repo name. So these are separate.
> We can then add the unpack dir to the remote repos for pax so it is used.
