New packages: Payloadless Packages

[rickychilcott]

Munki has allowed payloadless packages for quite a while now, so it would be nice if Munki would allow you to create a new Package (and PackageBranch, if necessary). See the installcheck_script for more information https://code.google.com/p/munki/wiki/HowMunkiDecidesWhatNeedsToBeInstalled#Install_Check_Script

Based on my read, this would require:

• A textbox for installcheck_script
• Lifting the requirement for having a .dmg associated with each package
• Ensuring you can upload/change a .dmg associated with each package

Does that seem right?

Just catching up on some of these issues. This would also include the "nopkg" installer_type I'd imagine. Would it be prudent to do an in-place check of the selected pkginfo to determine the installer_type and let the user skip the DMG upload based on that determination? Or, alternatively, a checkbox to manually skip uploading a DMG? This would also require restructuring the uploading to an OS X-based server since DMG is the only accepted file type there.
