@kirb Have you got any plans to add a "Legacy Update for Mac" or the like to that thing?

Could even bundle something like Sorbet Leopard for intrepid users who want a massive speed boost

@CursedSilicon Not currently because I believe Software Update before Big Sur used http, and Caching Server is very accessible from current macOS as a way to work around connection issues. Maybe in 20 years when TLSv1.3 is discontinued 😇

@kirb I guess those of us without Macs we can just point it at a standard HTTP server and do some hosts file redirection?

@CursedSilicon Luckily you can redirect the catalog url it downloads pretty easily, just a defaults write command. Like WSUS it relies on validating the signatures of pkgs it downloads come from Apple, so you can edit the catalog all you want, as long as it points to Apple-signed pkgs. Sadly no longer works that way since Big Sur because they switched to the same MobileSoftwareUpdate system iOS uses, IIRC that forces part of the download to come from Apple rather than a Content Cache server.
