Adobe reader multilanguage

Hi all,

please have look at: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/autopkg-discuss/ZisR54Fm6wo/KdkVDY3ekjQJ

I have stumbled across the same problem with our German customers. Adobe releases no full installer for non-english versions of Adobe Reader, but just an updater. I have modified the url provider to support the updater pkgs and added to processors to support the international updates. (These are my first steps with Python, so please excuse any extraordinary code snippets ;-))

I have tested the workflow at our site and it has worked fine.

Best,
Matthias
Much depends on how you name things and how you are handling things at the manifest level. I personally would have "AdobeReaderX" and "AdobeReaderXI" items with their associated updates (which in the US, we don't actually _have_, we just have new full installers). When upgrading a machine from "AdobeReaderX" to "AdobeReaderXI", I'd make a change in the manifest.

But if you name both products just AdobeReader, it does get more complex to make sure Munki installs Adobe Reader 11 before trying to install any of its updates. In that case, your requires key is probably appropriate.
