munki 2 - add ability to provide user acceptance on a per package basis for optional installs #350

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
in short, if I click "install" on an optional install, have the ability to be 
able to display an "accept | cancel" alert with a custom message.

The scenario here is for (in my particular case) products like EverNote, 
DropBox, OneNote etc that have a cloud component or capability to store 
information off site. In this case I'd like to be able to display a quick 
dialog that the product is subject to internal policy regarding cloud storage, 
which the user can accept (continue with the installation) or cancel (install 
is aborted). The alternate is to have this policy in the description but 
viewing the application description is not currently mandatory to install.

This scenario extends to any software we'd like to offer with conditions e.g. 
"this software has no internal support", "use at your own risk" or pretty much 
anything else we'd like to make sure the user has to accept to before 
continuing the install. More soundbite than EULA but that's the gist of it.

I already have code that does all of this that let me display a dialog, process 
the accept/cancel (only for installs), process as normal if the option isn't 
used etc but it requires the addition of another key in the application pkginfo 
for the text to display. I'm currently stuck on including this key in the 
InstallInfo.plist. Maybe I need to step back but I can't find the best place 
for this to happen.

I like this idea, but I want to hold off on any additional feature additions 
until Munki 2.0 has been declared "official". We can then iterate quickly and 
add additional features we've put on hold for a Munki 2.1 release.

never mind. found it.

Probably needs some cleaning up but here's what I have

c9bee96b6cb06f1d7be8&name=Munki2

It adds a new <key><string> pair "aup_text"  (needs a better name but that's 
what I started with. probably user_acceptance or something more generic)
If present then clicking install will display the text with Accept Cancel 
buttons (Cancel being the default)
If not present then install proceeds as usual.

oops. didn't see your reply before posting.

happy for it to hold off until post "official" as it needs fine tuning.

made some changes and a bit of a cleanup.

the main change is the re-naming of the extra key to install_conditions
