   I am trying to create a mirror (for myself) for Apple's software update server for Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 because I am worried these will get shutdown. The servers for 10.3, 10.2, 10.1, 10.0 are already gone so they can't be saved.

   I spent so much time messing around with UTM/QEMU to get 10.5 or 10.6 server up and running and its just so hard. Then I did it in VMWare Fusion on my last Intel Mac and it all worked like a dream. We really lost something in the switch to Apple Silicon when it comes to old Mac preservation…

   But anyway, turns out that the software update server in 10.6 server can't connect to Apple anyway. So this method is not going to work anyway 😭

   I will have to try this OSS project and see if I can get it to work. Of course if anyone knows of an existing mirror or Archive.org link please send it... but yeah, it would be a shame to lose these update servers.
