AutoPkg 2.1

on GitHub

2.1 (May 19, 2020)

NEW FEATURES
AutoPkg now supports the verbs list-repos and processor-list for convenience (#628)

autopkg info --pull/-p now allows you to fetch all parent repos of a recipe
automatically.

Example:

$ autopkg repo-delete recipes
$ autopkg info -p GoogleChrome.munki
Didn't find a recipe for com.github.autopkg.munki.google-chrome.
Found this recipe in repository: recipes
Attempting git clone...

Adding /Users/nmcspadden/Library/AutoPkg/RecipeRepos/com.github.autopkg.recipes to RECIPE_SEARCH_DIRS...
Updated search path:
  '.'
  '~/Library/AutoPkg/Recipes'
  '/Library/AutoPkg/Recipes'
  '/Users/nmcspadden/Library/AutoPkg/RecipeRepos/com.github.autopkg.recipes'

Description:         Downloads the latest Google Chrome disk image and imports into Munki.
Identifier:          local.munki.GoogleChrome
Munki import recipe: True
Has check phase:     True
Builds package:      False
Recipe file path:    /Users/nmcspadden/Library/AutoPkg/RecipeOverrides/GoogleChrome.munki.recipe
Parent recipe(s):    /Users/nmcspadden/Library/AutoPkg/RecipeRepos/com.github.autopkg.recipes/GoogleChrome/GoogleChrome.munki.recipe
                     /Users/nmcspadden/Library/AutoPkg/RecipeRepos/com.github.autopkg.recipes/GoogleChrome/GoogleChrome.download.recipe

The automatic fetching works by looking at the parent identifier of a recipe, and
searching GitHub via API for that file. It fetches that parent file from GitHub
directly, and adds the repo that it belongs to. Then it parses its parent, recursively
until it finds a recipe with no parents.

Note that the only verb to support this is autopkg info. You can use this feature to
dynamically fetch parents on-demand, instead of preconfiguring your environment with a
list of known repos.
