AutoPkg notes

These are my AutoPkg notes.

• My autopkg recipes

Mass Verify

autopkg verify-trust-info -v $(<AutoPkgr/All.txt)

Getting png files from icns files:

sips -s format png "path/to/file.icns" --out "path/to/file.png"

Yaml formatted plists

• Yaml formatted plists
• file extension requirement for YAML-formatted recipes
• AutoPkgr issue 667
• AutoPkgr issue 672

Convert plist to yaml

find .. -name "*.recipe" -exec ./[plistyamlplist.py](https://github.com/grahampugh/plist-yaml-plist) \{\} \{\} \;
