Details

Usage: /usr/local/munki/makecatalogs [[/path/to/repo](options])

Options:

  -V, --version         Print the version of the munki tools and exit.
  -f, --force           Disable sanity checks.
  -s, --skip-pkg-check  Skip checking of pkg existence. Useful when pkgs
                        aren't on the same server as pkginfo, catalogs and
                        manifests.
  --repo_url=REPO_URL, --repo-url=REPO_URL
                        Optional repo URL that takes precedence over the
                        default repo_url specified via --configure.
  --plugin=PLUGIN       Specify a custom plugin to connect to repo.

This tool scans the repo/pkgsinfo directory and builds catalogs from the pkginfo files.

You should run this after any change to pkginfo items to update all catalogs. munkiimport will offer to run this for you after a successful import.

/path/to/repo is optional if you have configured the path to the Munki repo using munkiimport --configure or manifestutil --configure. If this value is absent, the value stored in ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.munki.plist will be used.

The pkgsinfo subdirectory must exist and be readable; the catalogs subdirectory must exist and be writable.
