PkgSigner AutoPkg processor updated for Python 3

A while back, I discussed how to incorporate installer package signing into AutoPkg workflows. The PkgSigner processor used in this workflow was originally written by Paul Suh and it uses Apple’s productsign tool to access a Developer ID Installer certificate stored in the login keychain.

Like other processors and AutoPkg itself, PkgSigner needed updating to Python 3 when Python 2 reached end-of-life in April 2020. This updating process has been completed, thanks to Nick McDonald. To make sure PkgSigner is consistently using the same Python environment across machines, PkgSigner has also been set to use the Python 3 install bundled with AutoPkg.

For those who need it, I have a copy of the PkgSigner processor available via the link below:

Enabling diagnostic logging for Microsoft Outlook 2019

I was recently asked for assistance with a way to enable diagnostic logging for Microsoft Outlook 2019 for macOS:

@rtrouton Hi, can you help me with a one liner command to enable outlook logging on Mac?

I had seen Microsoft’s KBase article on how to do it, where it references enabling logging via the Outlook preferences:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2872257/how-to-enable-logging-in-outlook-for-mac

However, the KBase article only references how to enable this logging via the GUI and does not show how to do this via the command line. Fortunately my colleague @golby knew which settings could enabled from the command line to produce the requested logging. For more details, please see below the jump:
