I created a 10.7.2 InstaUp2Date Catalog

[Cabbage]

I created a 10.7.2 InstaUp2Date Catalog. This is based on the 10.7.2 Install DVD. You can redownload Lion from Mac App Store to get this.

The printer driver updates didn’t have checksums on Apple.com and was throwing an error so I commented them out.

Or copy and paste below. Sorry I don’t know how to do any of that Subversion stuff otherwise I would have uploaded it to the repository.

Well when I use the code tags to put the contents of the file here it says it is spam and deletes the post!

Visit Apple’s download site:
support dot apple dot com forwardslash downloads

Search for what you want to download. Then, download it.

Next, run the checksum script on the download to get the text you need to add to the catalog file:
In the terminal:
cd /path/to/instadmg
./AddOns/InstaUp2Date/checksum.py /path/to/downloaded.dmg

Optionally, copy the link for the download from Apple’s site and use that in your catalog file after you get the checksum from the previous steps. That will make it easier to share and make your catalog files easier to run on a new machine.

It sounds like you want to know how to do a checksum. The easiest way to do this is using checksum.py which lives in ~/InstaDMG/Addons/InstaUp2Date/ – so open up Terminal and type:
cd ~/InstaDMG/Addons/InstaUp2Date/
./checksum.py ~/InstaDMG/InstallerFiles/InstaUp2DatePackages/HPprintdrivers.pkg

Of course if your InstaDMG folder is not in ~, change the directory accordingly in Terminal. Likewise, be sure to reference the specific HP printer pkg file name.

The checksum format will look like as an example:
CreateLionUser CreateLionUser.pkg sha1:83b4357037d82a254c5ef068c384e3fb2c1

You can copy that entire line from the Terminal window into the catalog. Just make sure it is tab-separated (including the tab prior to CreateLionUser…). And yes, there is a tab between pkg and sha1.

Hope that helps. Also, if you’re new, take a look at this documentation I’m working on: https://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=29466
It’s still a draft at this point, but perhaps it could benefit you.
