autodmgupdateprofiles's Introduction

AutoDMGUpdateProfiles

This repository contains three utilities to help generate update profiles for AutoDMG

autodmg-rss.py (currently broken)

The rss parsing script is broken, hunt down updates from Apple's Downloads page instead. autodmg-rss.py reads Apple's RSS feed for software updates and creates a plist with the name and URL of each update. Not all updates have standard download buttons, and some updates are only available from Software Update, so some will still have to be added manually.

autodmg-checksum.py

autodmg-checksum.py takes the plist from autodmg-rss.py and downloads each update that doesn't have the sha1 checksum or size set. It also updates the PublicationDate to the current time, and it saves the updates for you in AutoDMG/Updates.

autodmg-verify.py

autodmg-verify.py checks for common errors, such as plist syntax errors, unreferenced updates, or forgetting to update the PublicationDate.

Suggested Workflow

Fork this repository and check out your fork out on your admin machine.
Install a bare OS on a test machine, and perform initial setup.
Run sudo softwareupdate -l -a.
Note the updates and the order they appear in.
~~Run ./autodmg-rss.py updates.plist.~~
~~Use updates.plist to update AutoDMG's UpdateProfiles.plist, while paying attention to installation order.~~
Manually add any updates that autodmg-rss.py doesn't find (see below), and remove deprecated updates.
Run ./autodmg-checksum.py UpdateProfiles.plist.
Run ./autodmg-verify.py UpdateProfiles.plist.
Run ./install.sh to move UpdateProfiles.plist into ~/Library/Application Support/AutoDMG for testing.
Build an image with updates applied.
Deploy it and verify that no additional updates are required.
Commit changes and submit a pull request.

Finding iTunes Updates

The latest installer for iTunes can usually be found at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. Start a download and then copy the URL from your browser's download dialog.

Downloading from sucatalogs

Some updates, notably Safari's, are never posted to Apple's rss feed. They are however posted to Apple's Software Update catalog, and there's a script in the repo to help you find them:

$ ./sucatalog.sh
$ egrep -i 'safari.*\.pkg' *.sucatalog | cut -d\> -f2-| cut -d\< -f1 | sort -u

I can check this out later, but wanted to get it filed so that I don't forget.

Safari 9.1.3 package has invalid URL

Currently the URL for the Safari 9.1.3 update for Mavericks errors with 404

autodmg-rss.py no longer works

It appears the feed that autodmg-rss.py depends on is no longer published by Apple:

FEED_URL = "http://rss.support.apple.com/?channel=DOWNLOADS"

I haven't been able to find an alternative, so README.md will need to be updated if an new feed URL isn't available and the suggested workflow has changed.

Safari 9.0.1

@scifiman MagerValp/AutoDMG#130

I'm getting an error for the Safari 9.0.1 Yosemite update.
The download fails the SHA1 checksum expectation. AutoDMG expected:
8a15d48c94d7b04f89cb3b3faff0dfcc8f7c1859
but got:
abad1886301a442e850b3bf203007b08a7bff5e2

This is happening on a 10.10.5 VM. I've also had issues with this update on my 10.10.5 desktop where it will not install from the AppStore. So I wonder if something has changed with this file from Apple.

Update UpdateProfiles.plist with 2018-003 High Sierra

Looks like 2018-003 High Sierra just dropped today and is not yet included in the AutoDMG UpdateProfiles.plist: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1984?locale=en_US
