Reposado – A Custom – Apple Software Update Server!
https://github.com/wdas/reposado
Reposado is a GIT project with the aim, to replicate key functionality of Mac OS X Server’s, Software Update Service. It’s brought to us by none other than the people at Walt Disney. The Walt Disney Animation Studio to be exact!
The beauty of this project is that:
1.) It doesn’t need to run on a Mac.
2.) There is a cost saving as a result. No need to spend your hard earned $$$ on overpriced hardware.
3.) It can provide updates to any OS X version, whereas Apple’s Mac OS X server can only provide updates (not strictly true, but not easily!) to its current version or below e.g. your OS X 10.6 server can only provide to OS X 10.6 or below – it can’t cater for your OS X 10.7 or OS X 10.8 clients. Reposado doesn’t have this pitfall, it caters for all!
