FEATURE SUGGESTION: installing from remotely mounted DMGs

[MiqViq]

Hi all,

I have been using postinstall_script functionality to install some items from remotely attached disk images, especially with items that will take huge amount of disk space if downloaded the regular munki-way.

As using postinstall_script for installing items there is no proper output from logs so it would be better if munki could directly support installing from remote DMGs.
If pkginfo had a key like remote_mount then munki would try to attach the dmg from the specified URL to a random tmpdir and look for specified installer item from.

There are risks like unstable network connections with this method but I have successfully installed quite a many items, even over the internet (we have a local munki server). Are there any other potential problems or should we try to implement this in some near-future version?

br,

MiqViq

I have no plans to add such a feature.
