Setup on Linux

Instructions for setting up Munkiserver on Linux. This was done with CentOS 6.0 x86_64 so a few package names and paths may need to be adjusted.

Notes

Since you are installing on munkiserver on Linux, you will be missing one feature of munkiserver — package introspection. On OS X installs of munkiserver, a copy of the munkitools package may be installed, and munkiserver will then generate a pkginfo file for you and parse it. In the case of a linux install, you’ll have to do this manually on a local Mac first (by running something like `/usr/local/munki/makepkginfo /path/to/my.dmg > ~/Desktop/my.dmg.pkginfo.plist`) and uploading it to munkiserver alongside the DMG.
