Auto-Update Manifests when importing a new pkg

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice if the manifests were automatically updated with the name of 
the pkg when it was specified to be part of that manifest in the pkginfo file. 
You may be able to do this already and I might not be aware...But it would make 
working with things much easier than having to open the manifests 
individually...

pkginfo files do not contain information on which manifests they are part of.

I probably don't understand the request.

Sorry. I phrased this incorrectly. When you import a pkg, it asks which catalog 
to put it in, which is then stored in the pkginfo.  Then you have to go into 
the manifest and put the name as you set it during import into the manifest(s) 
that you want the pkg to be part of. It would be really handy if it looked at 
the catalogs you specified and then matched then put the name if the 
coresponding manifest. 

Maybe since I am farely new to munki, what I am talking about doesn't make 
sense or is already a feature that I just don't know about...

manifests and catalogs are different things. I have 700+ manifests, roughly one 
per client. And I have manifests that are included by other manifests. So (at 
least from my perspective) adding a package to a manifest is always a manual 
thing.

That makes sense...thanks for you help. This is a great project and I look 
forward to continuing to learn more about it.
