@ekkehard is that your project?

It's weird to have something that seemingly duplicates AutoPKG & AutoPKGr

In looking over it, it seems its trying to fill the same space as products like Casper Suite and Munki more so than AutoPkg and AutoPkgr. Honestly, there is room for alternatives out there, even if there are very good options right now. I would not personally use this as we have Casper and are waiting for their patch management solution, but its always good to see solutions coming about.

Not my project. Comes out of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).

We are developing this: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=14293

It's bizarre that MacPatch has existed so long and we're all only hearing about it recently. I'm hoping somebody decides to blog about it soon, so we can see at a glance how it compares to Munki (and, eventually, whatever patch management feature JAMF is cooking up).

It looks like someone developed something similar to the JSS Importer as well for it MacPatchImporter for AutoPkg
