What are all these different Clover Files on github?

[ajmcello]

 

The following files exist on the github:

 

a) Clover.app-v1.11-5100.zip
b) Clover_v2.5k_r5100.pkg
c) CloverISO-5100.tar.lzma
d) CloverV2-5100.zip
e) CLOVERX64.efi.zip

 

 

Is (a) for installing as an app on OSX? What is it for?

 

What is (b) for, the .pkg? Not exactly familiar with .pkg. I've seen it used in UNIX, but I believe it's also a PKG format for installing packages on OSX. So, what is the difference between this (b), and (a)? (a) is labeled v1.11-5100, while (b) is labeled v2.5k_r5100.

(c) contains only this file, Clover-v2.5k-5100-X64.iso, which I assume is a pre-bootloader.

(d) looks like the NON ISO version, to build an ISO?

(e) Contains CLOVERX64.efi, which is the same CloverX64.efi for Clover.app-v1.11-5100 and CloverV2-5100.zip

 

Thanks for any explanations.

e) CLOVERX64.efi.zip

 

 

a) is the new installer and control application made by Vector Sigma. It is recommended for new systems. It resolves problems with Catalina< APFS, fusion drive etc.

d) files that this new app will search for update.

 

b) Traditional installer. Still works and supported but has some problems with Catalina resolved in a).

c) Bootable disk image with Clover. Used by BDU application by Cvad.

 

e) Just one file that you can replace if no other changes needed.
