It sounds like if you setup Munki with a Jenkins CI server you can get some pretty cool auto-packaging and deployment done. Has anyone gotten this to work with the Casper suite? Figured I'd poll the nation before I gave it the ol' college try...
Question
Continuous integration - Jenkins?

+5I'm not a Casper user, and so am unfamiliar with how items like installer pkgs/dmgs are stored and organized.
However, it looks to me like if it's possible it's going to be via the JAMF REST API:

POSTing packages, file uploads, policies etc.?
Sounds like with some work, you could remove a great deal of tedium of uploading packages and creating policies.

To the original post, I'm aware of a few Casper shops with client counts in the tens of thousands, and my impression as a non-Casper user is that the routine task of pushing application updates to clients involves several distinct steps. I would have to think that at least a few of these larger orgs are already doing this and just not talking about it.. ?
