NetSUS for El Capitan

[iamkmc]

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to know if anyone knows whats the new CatalogURL to allow El Capitan updates?

[Banks · Accepted solution]

This.

Banks has it there. Just don't expect an official update, it's been almost a year since the last official commit. Seems like JAMF has abandoned the Netsus for the most part.

You could always script out to "git fetch" or "git merge" (can't remember) the latest version of that reposado_preferences.txt file. Or just not use git and instead another cli tool. Surely there are several ways to do it.

or just use reposado and forget about netsus

Just stumbled across this thread. We are looking at possibly bumping everyone here up to 10.11. We are running the NetSUS on a Linux platform and for the life of me I can't figure out how to add 10.11 to the SUS.
I vaguely recall adding 10.10 and thought it was pretty straight forward. Looking for a little help on how to make 10.11 happen. Thank you.

@ncottle I just used this pseudo-guide on a previous thread and it worked fine:

@johnnasset Thanks for the tip. That took care of it. That's what I was thinking and just couldn't remember.

How do I limit the catalog to just 10.11 and 10.10 updates?

I guess there's no way to do this.

@itupshot You can only replicate, or choose not to replicate, the catalogs that Apple provide.
Currently these are the catalogs

<key>AppleCatalogURLs</key>

    <string>http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/index.sucatalog</string>

@calumhunter Well, that sucks. So, I'm stuck with updates that date back to 2006 taking up storage. All the Macs on my network are running Yosemite, and we're starting to test El Capitan. I don't need updates older than 2014.
