After the OS installation, there are usually updates to Xcode and OpenZFS. We have 4 x i7 units and 4 x M1 units.</p>\n\n<p>Rather than using the software update button, I went to the AppStore and downloaded the <a href=\"https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102662\">Sequoia installer</a>. This is approximately 15GB. I copied <code>/Applications/Install macOS Sequoia.app</code> to the other three systems of the same architecture using <code>rsync</code> to avoid downloading it on each machine. The OS updated from <code>Darwin 23.4.0</code> to <code>Darwin 24.5.0</code>.</p>\n\n<p>After the OS update, I updated Xcode via Settings, Software Update. This was a 1.65GB download. This moved from <code>Command Line Tools for Xcode 15.3</code> to <code>Command Line Tools for Xcode 16.3</code>, upgrading <code>clang</code> from 25.0.0 to 27.0.0. Before moving to the remaining machines, tested <a href=\"https://github.com/ocurrent/obuilder\">obuilder</a>, OpenZFS etc.</p>\n\n<p><code>softwareupdate --history</code> lists all the updates/os installations.</p>\n\n<p>Wall clock time elapsed: ~3 days.</p>",
