Munki 2.2.4 Official release

on GitHub

This is the official release of Munki 2.2.4, a "bug-fix" update for Munki 2.2.

Munki 2.2 adds "native" support for configuration profiles. Instead of having to wrap a configuration profile in a package to be able to deploy with Munki, Munki now supports configuration profiles as an item it knows how to install and remove without "wrapping".

Use munkiimport /path/to/some.mobileconfig to import a .mobileconfig file into your Munki repo. From there, you can treat it in manifests as you would any other piece of software -- you can add it to managed_installs, managed_uninstalls, optional_installs, etc.

Additionally, Munki 2.2 introduces new functionality that should dramatically reduce the number of http/https requests to your Munki web server. pkginfo items may now contain an icon_hash, which is a sha256 hash of the expected icon file. If the icon file currently cached on the local machine has the same sha256 hash, no http/https request will be made for the icon for the item.
