Has anybody had any issues with homebrew, virtualenv, or prezto (zsh) after a Mavericks install?
No issues with homebrew. I did have to accept XCode license, as I recently upgraded, but that's unrelated to Mavericks.

#42First hitch I've noticed with 10.9: "gdb" seems to be missing. Gcc is still there. I've looked around to see if there's another optional download that I'm missing (like a Command Line Tools for Mavericks), but I don't see one. Looks like Xcode is using lldb for debugging, and I can use lldb on the command line. I guess lldb is now the standard 1st-party debugger? Guess I will be figuring out how to install gdb manual…
You are correct, gdb is phased out in favor of lldb. It's just the end of a very long transitional period, similar to the clang vs. gcc situation. Introduce the successor, support both for several releases, then finally drop the legacy component. You can still install gdb yourself of course.

Protip: While old Apple builds of gcc will still work on Mavericks, newer FSF gdb won't load any shared libraries. To fix it, just change DYLD_VERSION_MAX in gdb/solib-darwin.c from 12 to 14.

#44Does anyone know how installing Mavericks affects hard drive space? I'm running on an 128GB SSD and space is always at a premium for me.
I got back about 14GB of disk space after upgrading.

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
When you install/update the system it creates/update your restore partition. Does Apple still only put necessary file and then do an over the air installation or they put the whole system ready to install ?
I'm not sure yet. For 10.9 the installer put all the necessary files in, and didn't download anything over the air for me.
Compared to which version? I think every version of OS X installer downloads all files before installation.

#46Just finished installing this. Upgrade took about 35 minutes total on my macbook air (2011). Was able to run a local Rails 4 app connecting to MySQL with no problems after the upgrade. Trying to install ruby 2.0-p247 now and all the gems and see what happens.
Isn't 2.0.0-p247 the system ruby? My rvm install was p195; after running "rvm use system" it's now p247 (ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13])
Looks like you are right! Didn't expect it to have an up to date version of Ruby.

Re: OS X Mavericks App Store link
#48As always, you can make yourself a dandy boot disk or USB drive by opening the installer's app bundle, and writing the following file to your favourite medium using the "restore" tab in Disk Utility. /Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg
Not any more. Needs a bit more work than that.

#49Does anyone know if Apple has a general bug report mechanism for the public?
The Mavericks installer was not accepting the password to unlock FileVault in the installer itself after reboot. It turns out that the password prompt is in QWERTY despite the language input icon indicating that it was in Dvorak. That is a profoundly annoying bug.
