AutoPkg

AutoPkg is a system that automatically prepares software for distribution to managed clients. Recipes allow you to specify a series of simple actions which combined together can perform complex tasks, similar to Automator workflows or Unix pipes.

Features

Downloading an application and/or updates for it, usually via a web browser
Extracting them from a multitude of archive formats
Adding site-specific configuration
Saving these modifications back to a compressed disk image or installer package
Importing these into a software distribution system like Munki, Jamf Pro, FileWave, etc.
Customizing the associated metadata for such a system with site-specific data, post-installation scripts, version info or other metadata
