This release of precache.py introduces a few changes:

  1. The -os/--os-installer flag is now hard deprecated in favour of using -m/--models - please update any scripts or LaunchDaemon/LaunchAgent files you use to run the script.
  2. IPSW files can now be optionally saved to an alternative location by using the -o/--output flag with a folder path. The folder path is created if it doesn't exist.
  3. The Apple Software Update catalog feed is used to look for macOS combo updates, Safari updates, iTunes updates, and RAW Camera updates.
  4. The script will force a check/update for available Caching Servers on its network (uses AssetCacheLocatorUtil if available).
  5. The script determines if the local machine is a Caching Server, or if the local machine knows about a remote server. If it can't find one, it will fallback to a default setting. Alternative Caching Server details can still be provided.
  6. Certain Mac App Store (MAS) apps can be cached out of the box. This includes several past macOS releases.
  7. Refactored redundant/duplicate code, and improved the portability of the script. Testing has been done on a macOS 10.12.0 machine, so send feedback if you have problems running this on a Linux/Windows machine.

For any errors/bugs, please raise an issue along with any exception messages, or log output.
