Well, lemme share my story, morning glory. So how can we deploy Google Chrome with the freshest of the fresh so we don't get that not-so-fresh feeling? You could effectively re-package everything using Composer, but then things get REAL STALE, REAL FAST - Google updates Chrome frequently. The Google Chrome.app file must be dragged to the /Applications folder. But hey, one-stop shopping in Self-Service, right?Īs we all know, Google deploys Chrome via a DMG file. Why? Users can just download from Google on their own. I wanted to make Google Chrome a part of my automated deployment process and also be available within Self-Service.
