Using AutoPkgr and Jamf's built in Patch Management
Does anyone have any good experience with combing the automation benefits of AutoPkgr and the built in Patch Management utilities in Jamf? I know it's not formally supported, but there was a workflow presented at JNUC a few years ago to handle this type of setup. I haven't had much luck finding any other approaches.

Best process to deploy latest app version with JAMF Self Service? Maybe Home Brew?
Oh, and one more big one: don't use Jamf at all. There's Jamjar (https://github.com/dataJAR/jamJAR), which uses a Munki setup along side Jamf, and lets both products do the things they are good at.
