Software Update Server: 10.4.11 means no 10.4.10 for me???

[melmaninga]

We have started the Software Update Service.

Currently, while 10.4.11 client is listed 10.4.10 is no longer available.

Is this normal for Software Update server?? When an update comes out the previous iteration is automatically yanked by Apple??

If so is there a way to stop this?

– bump –
I have a related question to this original, unanswered one. I notice that SUS doesn’t keep older updates as an option (only the new ones), so I can’t have Quicktime 7.2 (or even 7.3) – only 7.4.

Also, I don’t see any 10.5 updates listed (I am running Server 10.4.11 but may have 10.5 clients before I upgrade my servers).

Is there a clean/legit way to get and continue to offer (if chosen) older updates in SUS?

Yeah it removes the older updates when a newer one is there. You can always set it to not auto-release the updates in order to get around it

How do you do this? I was looking for that option in the settings – didn’t see anything that appeared to do that. Or, is it a CLI-only setting?
