SR Tools: Kext Management, Undo, & Version Control

One of our moderators StingRay, usually found in the chat, has started to put together a Mac OS X Toolkit called SR Tools. The first item to be available is Kext Tools which allows installs and most importantly undo and rollback. We're excited to announce it's ready for public use.

What is it?
Well thats easy, it's a kernel extensions (kext) installer and manager with the ability to undo/rollback from the gui or using single user mode boot and running a single dynamic script! The script is "./SRTrestorelast"

What does it do?
Well for those of us that play, install, change and optimize lots, I wanted the ability to simply undo and still undo in the event of a non-boot problem. So basically it should save people from messing around for hours and re-installing.

What is history/action?
Well, everytime you install a kext, disable and existing one, enable one or simply remove one or many from /System/Library/Extensions this is classed as an action. This tool will log and save those actions for easy rollback/undo if you happen to make mistakes (like me)!

How many actions will it save?
Well that number is unlimited, but there are ways to optimize the actions/history list so that you're not looking at all the actions you EVER did!
