erase-install - v27.0

Published by grahampugh about 2 years ago

Allows for logs to be reported back to Jamf Pro by changing the method startosinstall is launched. This requires rebootdelay to be set, which allows uploading the script result to Jamf Pro before startosinstall force-quits our script and reboots the machine (thanks to @cvgs).
Adds launcher script erase-install-launcher.sh which can be used to start the pkg-delivered version of erase-install from the Scripts section of Jamf Pro (it also supports more than 8 arguments for erase-install because you can add multiple arguments in one Jamf Parameter field) (thanks to @cvgs).
Adds some fallbacks for the --fetch-full-installer option.
If no build ID is found in the existing installer, we set it as invalid instead of exiting the script (addresses #271, thanks to @sphen13).
Fix the fallback free disk space calculation (df was returning disk size in kb and not gb) (#274 - thanks to @sphen13).
--update option now uses new logic in installinstallmacos.py to restrict searches to a certain OS or version (addresses #287).
Improved function descriptions in the script.
Changed the Makefile to download the correct version of installinstallmacos.py during the make process.
Improved checksum checks for installinstallmacos.py - if an incorrect checksum is found, the correct version is downloaded rather than the script failing (unless --no-curl option has been added).
Add titles to username and password dialog boxes (#289, thanks to @cvgs)
Now correctly deletes a sparseimage from the cache when --move is used and the sparseimage is downloaded (#297, thanks to @andyincali)
Now correctly fails if an invalid installer is found and --replace-invalid, --update, --overwrite or --skip-validation are not set (addresses #298).

erase-install - 26.2

Published by grahampugh about 2 years ago

Allows rebootdelay for 10.15 (thanks to @cvgs).
New --newvolumename key which will set the volume name after an eraseinstall workflow (thanks to @bmacphail).
Now correctly validates whether a selected build value matches the cached installer.

erase-install - 26.1

Published by grahampugh over 2 years ago

Universal python build packages.
Use pkg_resources instead of distutils where available (allows for removal if distutils in python 3.12 - addresses grahampugh/macadmin-scripts/issues/47).
Improves the --fetch-full-installer option by looking for the latest version if not specified, and checking that a pre-chosen version is in the list. --list in conjunction with --ffi also now uses --list-full-installers instead of reverting to installinstallmacos.py.
Allows the usage of spaces in --workdir and --path (thanks to @cvgs).
Added --max-password-attempts=NN option, which can also be set to infinite to prevent canceling the password dialog (addresses #216, thanks to @cvgs).
Changes dialogs so that the Cancel button is on the left, and default button is on the right (thanks to @cvgs).
Script now uses sysctl to check for Apple Silicon (addresses #225, thanks to @cvgs).
Some minor changes to the German translation (thanks to @cvgs).
Adds an additional check for --min-drive-space right before start of the installation (should address #242, thanks to @cvgs).
Adds -nobrowse to all instances of hdiutil to prevent mounted images appearing on the desktop (thanks to @cvgs).

erase-install - 26.0

Published by grahampugh over 2 years ago

Adds --catalog to allow an easier way to select which software update catalog to use, rather than the defaults set in installinstallmacos.py. Example: --catalog 10.15 will use the catalog for Darwin version 19, --catalog 11 will use Darwin version 20. This is to address omissions in the catalogs for older OSes (somewhat addresses #169, #160).
Allow for more lenient checks for Volume Ownership against the entered username (#177, thanks to @cvgs)
Adds --rebootdelay option (Big Sur or later) (#193).
DEPNotify counts down the rebootdelay time.
Adds --fs option which makes all the DEPNotify windows full screen (download, confirm, preparation).
User can dismiss the DEPNotify download and preparation windows if --rebootdelay is set to at least 10 seconds.
Multiple --preinstall-command arguments can now be supplied. These run immediately before startosinstall is run.
Multiple --postinstall-command arguments can now be supplied. These run after startosinstall has finished.
Checksums of installinstallmacos.py are now pinned to a tag of the macadmins-scripts repo so that updates to the script don't break a particular version of erase-install.sh from working.
Add a message about process Terminations, which some people were mistakenly believing to be errors.
Fixed the actual killing of jamfHelper and caffeinate.
osascript dialog windows now run as the user (addresses #198, thanks to @anewhouse).
Fixed an issue concerning the catalog for macOS High Sierra 10.13 which has an item without a version string listed, which was causing installinstallmacos.py to error out (addresses #169).

erase-install - 25.0

Published by grahampugh over 2 years ago

Determines free space better by checking free and purgeable space (partial fix for #152; thanks to Pico in MacAdmins Slack).
Uses exit traps to clean up after all abnormal exits (fixes #140, #141; thanks to @ryangball).
Adds -nobrowse to hdiutil to prevent mounted images appearing on the desktop (thanks to @ryangball).
Allows 5 password attempts (fixes #159).
Adds dialog to show how much time is left in the power check (#144; thanks to @dan-snelson).
Some dialog changes, to replace the word "reinstall", which some people have found confusing, with "install" (addresses #149).
Changed log location to the $workdir so that it persists after an upgrade, and also so it is wiped if using the --cleanup-after-use option (fixes #161).
Remove check for membership of staff group for Apple Silicon Macs, since Volume Ownership is already checked it's not necessary, and was preventing non-admin AD users from proceeding (fixes #166).
Re-order some initial statements to ensure that the chosen $workdir has been created before DEPNotify is downloaded and the log file is determined (fixes #165).
Some minor changes to the Dutch translation (addresses #164, thanks @Alitekawi).

erase-install - 0.22.0

Published by grahampugh about 3 years ago

Add preparation progress information to the DEPNotify bar (#122, thanks @andredb90).
SIP check only checks for partial SIP enablement (#110, thanks @anverhousseini).
New --preinstall-command option to run a command prior to the beginning of the startosinstall run (thanks Fredrik Virding for the idea).
Fix build version comparisons (this affected macOS 11.6) (#124, thanks @boberito)
Allow use of --confirm option for reinstallation (#123)
Improve version comparisons in check_newer_available function (should improve --update reliability)
Fix erase or reinstall from a InstallAssistant package if it has not already been extracted with the --move option (#111).

erase-install - 0.21.0

Published by grahampugh about 3 years ago

Add French translation (thanks @Darkomen78).
Fix version for which --allowremoval is set when doing a reinstall (thanks @anverhousseini).
Kill DEPNotify in places where jamfHelper is killed (#106, thanks @julienvs).
Added '$script_name' variable - if you want to change the script name, the echo statements will reflect this value rather than 'erase-install'.
Added --clear-cache-only option, which works in conjunction with --overwrite or --update to perform the removal of cached installers but then quit rather than carry on with any further workflow (#105).
Added a more verbose message that --test-run has been implemented (#93).
