Managed software installation for macOS —
This is a beta release of Munki 6.5.0: a new feature release of the Munki tools.
imp module is no longer available in Python 3.12; this affected the import of middleware and repo plugins. The code has been updated to use importlib.util instead. (https://github.com/munki/munki/commit/1850dbe0773c90dafd9d8c32a35660c85bb5a34d)autoremove=True that also have a requires list and one or more required dependency cannot be resolved. (https://github.com/munki/munki/commit/18ea6c42ca8cd825938beeb0b7d478672c7a14b7)A complete list of changes from the 6.4.0 release is here: https://github.com/munki/munki/compare/v6.4.2...v6.5.0b2
If you install a version of the Munki tools that contains the Python 3.12 framework, and then later attempt to downgrade by installing an older version of the Munki tools (say, 6.4.2.4634) that contains a Python 3.10 (or earlier) framework, /usr/local/munki/munki-python will be broken. See https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/Downgrading-Munki-tools for more information.
The GUI apps and the Python framework were built under Xcode 15.2 on macOS 14.3.1. Xcode 14.3.1 on macOS 13 should work as well. Other versions of Xcode have not been tested and may cause different results. (Due to Apple bugs, Xcode 15.0.1 or Xcode 15 on macOS Sonoma will result in GUI apps that won't run on macOS < 10.15).
This release should work on macOS 10.13 through macOS 14, though it gets little-to-no testing on versions prior to macOS 12. Please report issues you find with older macOS versions.
The munkitools-6.5.0.4654.pkg attachment available here is an unsigned and unnotarized package that should install without requiring a restart unless upgrading from an extremely old Munki tools (like one of the 3.x releases or earlier). It should be suitable for most initial deployment scenarios, including those driven by DEP/ADE (if you first sign the package). It does not include a component to trigger "bootstrapping" or any other automatic run of the tools after installation.
Thanks to the efforts of @erikng and @natewalck, signed and notarized builds of Munki tools packages are available at https://github.com/macadmins/munki-builds/releases. There may be a delay for new releases -- please be patient.

board-id and device-id conditional facts introduced in Munki 6.4 have been renamed board_id and device_id, respectively. It turns out the previous names are illegal in NSPredicate expressions and caused a client run to be terminated unexpectedly if used in conditional_items or installable_condition.
