Correct package and package-type for .yaml files

[ackoch]

What is the correct package and/or package type to place the .yaml files in?

• I naively tried the "ui.config".. but this is a "container" that apparently does not allow non-osgi config files such as the yaml files [1] (and some filevault validator complains).

• "ui.content" also is not correct, as [2] or [3] suggest the yaml files are supposed to be under /apps and ui.content is of type "content" in the latest aim archetype. Maybe "/conf" is a better location?

• is "ui.apps" a good idea? I mean.. it's yaml files are configurations not code...

What is the best practice?

I would recommend putting it in an application package below /apps/.... Other configuration like OSGi configuration is placed below /apps/... as well. The only drawback is that install hooks are not allowed in application packages (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-512). So you either need to disable the validation on that package or temporarily set it to type mixed. In any case the install hook is skipped for AEMaaCS as the installation there works fundamentally different: https://github.com/Netcentric/accesscontroltool/blob/develop/docs/ApplyConfig.md#installation-in-aem-as-a-cloud-service
