Hello,

welcome to version 1.8!

I'd like some clarification: does the presence of macOS and Linux agents in version 1.8 imply that applications for these two operating systems can be distributed using WAPT, as is the case on Windows (and as Munki allows on macOS)?

Or do the agents only allow for a kind of machine inventory (similar to what OCSInventory does)?

Thank you.

Inventory and deployment can be performed using Linux and macOS agents. Setup helpers and inventory management are less structured at the moment, but perfectly usable.

For creating setup.py deployment recipes, the run() command is available in all three environments. We've started experimenting with commands like install_deb_if_need, install_rpm_if_needed, install_dmg_if_need, etc. The setuphelpers aren't yet as comprehensive as those available on Windows. These environments will be expanded. We'll post some example packages for macOS, Debian, and CentOS 7 to give you some ideas.

Sincerely,

Denis
