Has anybody had any issues with homebrew, virtualenv, or prezto (zsh) after a Mavericks install?
Mongodb and CasperJS were broken for Mavericks comes with libc++ instead of libstdc++ by default. A little hack could fix these two.

#72Is there any direct link to download this update? 5.29GB is pretty big. Would love to download it through my download manager.
Nowhere close to official, but you can torrent it: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/9085330/OS_X_Mavericks_10.9_O...
I have always wondered why Apple and Microsoft don't embrace Bittorrent as a perfectly reasonable distribution method for "big bang" releases (like today). I have tried using Burnbit but it is only as valuable as there are folks who use it (Metcalfe's Law strikes again!).
I would also want to see some shas of the files distributed from Apple before I would use something from TPB.

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
Check the Mac Rumors forums before doing this. I heard that this approach doesn't work anymore because Apple changed some dependencies.
I think you might be correct. Apple used to distribute the Lion Recovery app, which basically copied the InstallESD.dmg to a USB stick, but it no longer works with Mountain Lion. Running this command, however, uses a hidden executable inside the installer application to write itself to a USB stick. sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USBSTICK --appl…
What happens when you do that without the --nointeraction flag? Presumably, it explains what it's going to do, and prompts for elevation?

I believe that when you buy things from the Microsoft Store, one fulfilment option is an Akamai "peer download", which uses BitTorrent internally. This was something I used a few years ago, so I'm not sure if it's changed since then.

Not only would it be a better experience for the customers, it would save them a ton of bandwidth as well. I have no idea why App Store doesn't use BT by default and fall back to direct downloading.

#76First 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…
Command line tools are removed from xcodes' downloads. But they can be installed with
xcode-select --installRe: OS X Mavericks App Store link
#77So I'm doing the upgrade on an mbp with filevault2. The installer "reboots" the machine and goes into the rest of the installation. But I'm never prompted for a disk password. So... how'd that happen?
I did it on a 2007 MacBook Pro and I was forced to re-enter my normal account credentials, at which point the installer started up.

gcc is missing ...
xistence$ gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
Thread model: posix
The command line tools also make sure to install a whole range of standard headers that are not included with Xcode so that you can build curses based apps and all that fun stuff!

With gcc missing, so is libstdc++ for linking/compiling against.

Is there nothing equivalent to virtualenv for Ruby? It'd be nice to be able to use the system Ruby and just get gem to install into an isolated project specific location.
rvm and its gemsets.
pythonbrew is actually the python equivalent of rvm - https://github.com/utahta/pythonbrew

Was the previous comment edited? There's no --nointeraction flag there.
