Earlier quoted context omitted.

before upgrading, make sure that you can install xcode lion as well. old xcode won't work on lion. macvim with janus plugin crashes like hell.

Yeah that's what I'm waiting for: the state of Xcode 4 for lion (is it free, or still $5?) and the macports update.

Apparently installing MacPorts from SVN should work, although it's a bit more of a hassle: http://blog.affien.com/archives/2011/03/10/macports-on-lion-...

Can anyone tell me if homebrew still works on it? What about macvim, rvm, mysql binaries, etc? Waiting is always the hardest part :P.

i installed the developer preview of os-x lion some weeks ago. following are my first impressions. let me know how you think... performance: at first i thought lions performance sucks, but mdworker and kextcache processes are re-initializing spotlight right after installation which slows down the system and heats up the cpu. after two hours of fan-noise and heat the system seems to be fine and is running smoothly now…

How is the backwards compatibility in general? I got a Oracle 10g database running on SL that I am particularly worried about. I got it anyways - will have to do a full backup and find out I suppose. Speaking of 4GB downloads - OS X still does not have something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_Intelligent_Transfer... which can utilize priorities, throttling and do idle bandwidth downloads.

Having an external DVD drive to install it is advised though, it is really difficult to do it with a USB drive.

For compatibility in general, http://roaringapps.com/ looks like a decent guide.

Not sure about Oracle 10g though.
