Zephyroth's AMD Software Update in Public Testing


apowerr

Source (For download link please visit the original page)

This is a BETA so don't use it on your everyday partition.

 

Everyone who want to localize it in its native language is welcomed !

 

This app can do the following :

 

- Download updates.

- Modify updates (remove mach_kernel and critical extensions, modify GeForce.kext and NVDAResman, search and apply cpuids and decrypt encrypted files).

- Install updates.

 

I managed to update Leopard-10.5.1 to 10.5.2.

 

Many improvments need to be done before to integrate this app in a release.

- LeopardGraphicsUpdate does not install correctly as well as some others updates)

- Some kext like System.kext are not removed

- ...

 

If you want to test it make sure to create a spare partition with a test installation of Leopard !!!

 

PS: German people, don't laugh at me ... I've localized it with the translator widget ... :-)))))))

This (especially once finalized) is huge for AMD users, as patching CPUIDs with updates and not applying updates because of new kernels and system.kext's is a huge pain. As stated by Zephyroth, anyone interested should be wary of using this on their primary partition, as it is a beta.

Has anyone recently tried using 0.5 to update from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8? I am currently running iDeneb's V1.5 10.5.7 and am wondering if it is possible to use this tool.

 

I am running my AMD machine on the 9.6.0 Kernel.

I have read that several others get this error as well. Not sure what it's all about though. I think I'll hold off from the update until I know for certain.

it downloaded the combo update for sure - I can tell it by the number of downloded megabytes shown in Activity Monitor. but at this step ASU stops doing anything. it would just show "Preparing download" message forever.

 

here is the log message
