  • Added the --pkg option allowing the download of an InstallAssistant package, utilising an update alresdy made to the installinstallmacos.py fork. For Big Sur or greater only. This will probably need some more error checking.
  • Added the --keep-pkg option which prevents the deletion of the package if the --move option is used to extract the package to /Applications. By default, the package will be deleted on successful extraction.
  • Added the --force-curl and --no-curl options, allowing the control of whether to download installinstallmacos.py. This is in anticipation of a Makefile and package release of erase-install.sh.
  • Added Makefile. This allows you to build a self-contained package containing erase-install.sh and installinstallmacos.py so that curl is not used during the run of erase-install.sh to update installinstallmacos.py. This requires munkipkg and expects to find the grahampugh fork of installinstallmacos.py in ../macadmins-scripts. Make sure you don't bundle in Greg Neagle's version of installinstallmacos.py inadvertently (or this script will fail). A package will be provided on GitHub for this and subsequent versions. Note that erase-install.sh is installed into /Library/Management/erase-install. I deliberately have not put erase-install.sh into the PATH.
  • Added the --user and --stdinpass arguments when running on a Silicon Mac. Silicon Macs require an admin user and password to run startosinstall.
  • Now treats 10.x or 11+ as major versions for OS comparisons.
  • Fix in installinstallmacos.py for os comparisons failing where no Version is provided from the catalog.
