Multiple Manifests when using MCX #74

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It could be a nice idea if it is possible to use multiple manifests for a 
single host. So one can group to-be-installed-software-packages in a host-group 
manner (eg. officehosts, developerhosts, osx106all, osx105all, iworkhosts, 
...). This gives the possibility to put a host within mcx in various 
hostgroups, with munki installing the respective Packages on the given host.
Defining which packages will be installed on a given host is no more a matter 
of editing manifests but managing them in hostgroups with mcx.
Actually munki would use the first manifest found in mcx, ignoring the other 
ones

MCX is just server-side management of client preferences. So without MCX, how 
would this preference look on an unmanaged client? And what are the major 
advantages over using included_manifests? (This might be better discussed on 
munki-dev, so more people see it.)
