Hey. I just downloaded 10.5.4 update from apple website.
I can unpack it and patch cpuids. How can I repackage it to install the patched update?

Thanks.

with package maker

I was looking for it. Do I really have to download that 1Gb Xcode tools?

when i get time I will share it with you kinda busy right now

Ok, Packagemaker is working, but I can't get into MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.4.pkg package contents...
Anyone know what to do?

I'm puzzled, you said in your first post you had unpacked it?

Btw, can I ask why you aren't just using Zeph's ASU to download and patch? It'll make your life alot easier.

Just noticed that the option "Show package contents" is not showing when I right-click the .pkg file.
I've managed to open it using Pacifist and extract everything.
I'm going to patch cpuids and decrypt binaries manually.
Can I just create a new package with patched files using Packagemaker?

PS: I don't want to use ASU 0.5 because it's downloading veeeeeeeeeeeery slow here and I already have the combo update file.
Hmmm.. Can I use ASU just to patch a file in my HD?

Yes you can use Package Maker to repack it. Just to warn you, there are other files in that update that unless you remove them will kill your install such as mach_kernel, system.kext etc

It's safer to use ASU because this will do the work for you. To patch something you've already downloaded see the second post on the following thread:

Can you tell me what files I should delete before repack?
I'd really like to use ASU but it's downloading so damn slow here...
