So this also means the Mid 2012 Mac Pro (and by extension the 2010) are safe presumably. Same requirements as Mojave.
Got a tip for us?

That's not good. But I'm sure there will be a workaround with System Integrity Protection disabled.
This looks like some kind of Docker-like technology, or something akin squashfs.
I hope so. If not then we don't really have a chance. Here's hoping a plain package install will at least work.
Download a copy of 10.15, straight from Apple.
It'll come later, just like with 10.14. They just haven't implemented the Metal GPU detection yet.
How time flies, seems yesterday I installed Mojave.
If someone had asked me to pronounce 100 names for 10.15 I'd never guessed Catalina.

Thanks, I know there is a process to do this manually but I already forgot what it is.

That icon really looks like a cheese grater. The resemblance is unreal.Mac Pro 5,1 has been dropped, ladies and gentlemen...

When Apple heard us chanting "bring back the cheese grater," they must've taken that literally.
I would love to join you on this endeavor. I used to work on the patches on MacPostFactor and macOS Extractor but then have the time to because I was finishing college.
Curious did they say that? Cuz it reads like the final version won’t run on 5,1s on the website.
Hey again everybody!!
Software catalog is up: InstallESD is about 30% downloaded for me. Can't wait to get this running

I'm so happy to see you on this. I'm actually planning on making a new patcher for older versions (10.8-10.11) called OS X Patcher. This patcher will be based on the amazing work by you and the rest of OS X Hackers, and built from the code base of macOS Patcher. If you're willing to, your collaboration would be greatly appreciated.
More patchers is never a bad thing, but do you guys want to make a shared GitHub repo or similar listing how each patch works this time around? Rather than having 3 competing black-box tools.
Just a thought. I'll be posting any of my findings publicly as usual and I hope everybody does the same.
6 minutes remaining on my download! Let's do this!!

Do you'll install it on HFS+ or APFS ?
Meanwhile finger crossed for Penryn Core2Duo and non-metal acceleration.
@TMRJIJ's read-only volume quote makes it look like APFS might be mandatory. I'll give HFS+ a try, though.
Definitely. I would love to collaborate with you guys
I'm planning on documenting how macOS Patcher works. I think using a bash script and simple Apple scripts for the Patch Integrity Protection GUI, allows somewhat experienced users to more easily understand how macOS Patcher works. I would like to document all of this as I have a vast knowledge base from browsing threads and reversing engineering other patchers but unfortunately I don't currently have the time. Luckily, summer holidays are in a month so I should have plenty of time away from school to work on macOS Patcher, OS X Patcher, and associated documentation to come. It's also a question of priority. I'd rather work on creating the tool, than documenting it. But as I said, once I have more time then I can catch up on that.More patchers is never a bad thing, but do you guys want to make a shared GitHub repo or similar listing how each patch works this time around?

I think I'm the only one with any interest in a retro patcher like that. But I recently got a MacBook4,1, courtesy of @dosdude1, and @Larsvonhier so that will be a big asset in this venture. I've currently reversed engineered MacPostFactor and attempted to package it into a bash but I haven't tested anything yet. Of course it's much easier having one of the actual developers to help me with it than trying to understand a pre built appDefinitely. I would love to collaborate with you guys
I don't know if that's the case or not. Does APFS run on Traditional Hard Drives? If the non-retina 2012 Macbook Pro is still supported with those HDDs then it properly won't bother us as much.
