To enable auto promotion, from Testing → Stable, of applications downloaded using AutoPkg, [[https://github.com/joshua-d-miller/munki-promote|munki-promote]] has been implemented.

The Orchard team has automated the staging process for software titles using the in-house developed tool [[https://github.com/ox-it/munki-staging|munki-staging]]. Our Trello board for the Orchard production repository is publicly available at [[https://trello.com/b/SnEEvEXc/orchard-software-staging]]. Currently, downloaded applications are set to move from Testing → Stable after 14 days. The promotion process runs at 2.30am every morning.

To allow for additional logging of the process, to run makecatalogs and also to update the catalog listings, the Python script is triggered from a Zsh script. This is triggered from the Calendar app using an Automator application that runs the following:

{{{
sudo -u autopkg /srv/munki/bin/munkipromote.sh
