Building blocks for custom package formats?

[copumpkin]

Is there an API to facilitate packaging in non-standard/provided formats? I haven't poked around the source much, but I assume there's a decent amount of overlap in shared functionality between the different packaging formats, and that sbt-native-packager could also facilitate packaging to more obscure formats that aren't directly supported.

If there is such an API, can it be more documented? If not, can we get it? 😄

Everything is based in the universal packaging layout. If you want
the startscript to work, you have to use this layout.

Whats your usecase?

I'll change this to a documentation thing. Normally you can reuse all the settings defined by the sbt-native-packager like, daemonUser, mappings, etc. to build your own task/settings in your build which create a custom package format.

An example for this is the sbt-assembly example with native-packager. Instead of a a list of jars you get single fat-jar
