Support for Munki2

[David Iwanicki]

I ran into a problem with MunkiAdmin and an existing pkginfo I inserted the category and icon_file keys into, for Munki2 usage.

Are you considering adding Munki2 support, or at least error-catching to prevent additional keys in pkginfo files from choking MunkiAdmin?

Love the tool, couldn't manage Munki without it!

I've pulled a branch - not a fan of Xcode 5, but I'm trying to push commits back to github as I attempt to implement support for the new keys.

Thanks,

New keys should not choke MunkiAdmin. It will keep them correctly when reading and writing pkginfo files as seen with the "_metadata" key which is completely unknown to MunkiAdmin.

I'm already working on the support for the new keys in the develop branch. However, I'd also like to create a completely new UI for the pkginfo editing. The current one is getting a bit crowded and I think it needs some reorganizing at least. So would you rather see these implemented in the current UI or wait for a new one?

adding a tab to the current pkginfo UI seemed to be the most logical way to handle this.

My Obj-C is rudimentary and and I'm new to Xcode 5, so I've been stumbling around a bit trying to get the data objects to type to the view. 

Per Greg, the only new keys in pkginfo are "category", "developer", and "icon_name". All are optional. The new Managed Software Center app in Munki2 will use the paging "name" key to look for a corresponding .png file in munki_repo/icons if icon_name is not specified. I set up the category and developer data objects as arrays, pre-populating categories based on official MAS list.

The icon is an image well in the UI, but that is a new construct to me, so not sure how to implement the model and controller.

What I've done so far is at https://github.com/diwanicki/munkiadmin

I've got category and developer keys working in my latest build: read from, edit, write to pkginfo.
