Maintaining an mpkg of all your software would be a logistical
nightmare. However, if you wanted something extremely quick and dirty
you could have a script loop through a folder of pkgs and install
them. E.g.:
for i in `ls -d /Volumes/Share/Packages/*.*.pkg; do
installer -pkg ${i} -target /
done
Also, I agree with the other posters, your time learning munki et al
would be well spent in the long run.
