Setting up macbook for updates from seedutil
As part of a discussion of how to build test VMs, a colleague mentioned how they were using the seedutil tool to help configure Macs to access Apple’s beta updates. I hadn’t run across this tool before, so I decided to do some research and see if I could make it work for my own testing needs. For more details, see below the jump. seedutil is available at the following location in macOS 10.13.2: 1 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil There is no manpage for it, but if you call the seedutil tool by itself it will display the following options: computername:~ username$ sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Resources/seedutil -help Password: usage: seedutil enroll SEED_PROGRAM seedutil unenroll seedutil current seedutil migrate OLD_VERSION NEW_VERSION seedutil fixup computername:~ username$ view raw gistfile1.txt hosted with
