discussed at the Sling Committer Round Table @ adaptTo() 2016 currently there is no support for content packages in sling to easily package content/resources from the repository or resource hierarchy and transfer it between instances.
concerning File Vault packages several parts are already open source [1]. there is a content package maven plugin from adobe [2], but it's not open source. the composum console has a package manager support in its latest version [3] wcm.io also has a content package plugin [4] which already replaces parts oft he adobe content package maven plugin (upload/download package part), but not yet the part building the ZIP package from the VLT file layout. it could be contributed to sling easily. we discussed that there is a missing "receiver" part to upload content packages via http to sling, but this is mainly glueing code and the major parts of functionality are already available. stefan [1] https://jackrabbit.apache.org/filevault/ [2] https://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/com/day/jcr/vault/content-package-maven-plugin/ [3] https://github.com/ist-dresden/composum/wiki#package-manager [4] http://wcm.io/tooling/maven/plugins/wcmio-content-package-maven-plugin/
