On: OS X 10.9 Mavericks: The Ars Technica Review

Any incompatibilities people have run across yet. I want to figure out if there are any obvious dealbreaking changes before I spend time making a backup and upgrading.

Anything running QT 4.x

Which appears to be an upstream issue.

:S

And has been failing since before the GM was seeded.

MacPorts isn't really ready yet.

[topbanana → philfreo]

OT: is macports the best package manager for a developer? Considering buying my first Mac. (Macbook Pro 13 is perfect hardware for me)

[nicholassmith → topbanana]

Homebrew is the current choice for most of us, I've found it much more stable than MacPorts.

Thanks

pkgsrc also works, supposedly. I'm currently using Macports on 10.6, but wondering whether I should stay on macports (known quantity, huge number of ports), switch to homebrew (hype, easy to write & push new packages, lower number of ports) or switch to pkgsrc/pkgin (cross-platform, good number of ports, but very low popularity & likely support)

I've just uninstalled every port I have on 10.6.8. I was going to upgrade but you're making me hesitate...
