Someone at Mozilla had goofed and pointed the “latest firefox release” link at the 60 beta. On Wednesday, I noticed that AutoPkg had imported Firefox 60! I looked at the installed application, and its version was actually 60.0b3. AutoPkg found the new release and imported it into Munki as expected. On Tuesday of this week, Mozilla released Firefox 59. For us, AutoPkg checks on approximately 50 items each day, importing anything new into my Munki repo into a testing catalog. I also use AutoPkg to automate finding new software updates and to import them into my Munki repo. This is great when you have users that for whatever reason need to test newer versions (or perhaps they are actually developing the newer version of the software). Its default behavior when an item on the local machine has a higher version than that on the server is to leave it alone. Every time it runs, it compares the versions it has on the server against the versions installed on the local machine and updates any software at a lower version than it has on the server. Munki is really good at keeping software up-to-date. It might come as little surprise to find out that I use Munki in my organization to manage software installations on macOS.
