If time is an issue, consider doing a wipe and fresh install then upgrade instead of upgrade in place. Apparently if you have Homebrew it gets stuck at 2 minutes, potentially for several hours.

#22Damn it, the .DS_Store files are back without the help from Asepsis! Now I must run clean.sh everytime I pack up my project. :( The time has come...
One solution that I've adopted: never use Finder.
I'm new to the OS X: what do you use instead then? Is there a good alternative to Finder?

What do you use instead? You navigate exclusively from your terminal?
I've used Forklift for years, very stable: http://www.binarynights.com/forklift/

It gets stuck because it's moving every Homebrew app out of /usr/local, a known but painful issue.

It’s not uncommon for the App Store/Software Update to make no distinction between the final GM seed and the production version, making it say you’re already up to date if you’re running the GM seed. They’re usually close enough to production that the GM seeds can update to x.x.1 type updates. That said I’m downloading the official release now and installing it over my GM seed install simply to get beta releases of 1…
There is a setting to opt out of the beta track. Check out System Preferences > App Store.
I found the guide for how to do it, but there's no such button there. Oh sh*t.

So, basically the same advice applies as with the upgrade to Yosemite: move /usr/local to somewhere like ~/local before upgrading, and move it back after.
It's worth mentioning that after the upgrade you might run into permissions problems: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/h...
You might want to run `brew update` before updating, so `brew doctor` can help you troubleshoot issues afterwards.

Ah, yes, I remember now that this happened with Yosemite too. I had to let the install finish over night. Thank you for the timely reminder.

You need to move everything out of /usr/local into a temp location (I just dropped it into a folder in my home dir) and then after install, move it back.

#30Just upgraded. Can't delete apps. Anyone figured this out yet? Admin accound sudo rm -rf "game center.app" is returning operation not permitted. Appcleaner is not even able to find the packkages much less delete them. I have the GM though. What is this about?
Edit: upgrading to the appstore version. Not sure if this was GM specific, or they are locking the Os down even more.
Edit2: if you forget your password immeadiately and use the resetpassword feature in terminal, keychain breaks, can't find "login". Prob fix it with permissions. Note, NOT the case. Had to make an entire new user.
Also, with >30mbps connection, 850mb upgrade is taking ~4hrs. They must be getting slammed.
Edit : Boot args didnt fix. Trying carutul disable at recovery terminal.
Bash-3.2# csrutil diasable
Seems to work.
Edit n: seperate and unrelated, system does not seem to restart well. Eiter hangs or takes ages.
