10.11 Developer Beta 1

[flipphillips]

A heads-up-

According to the release notes for 10.11 beta 1:

• After upgrading to OS X v10.11 Developer Beta, applications that write to protected/system locations may no longer function correctly.

Indeed- it turns out the /usr/texbin directory can't be created / linked, even by root. As a work-around, I've just linked texbin into /usr/local, which is still 'malleable', and re-directed my path there. However, I'm -guessing- this breaks texmgr and friends, since it expects /usr/texbin instead.

I haven't played extensively here enough (just installed the beta) to know any more specifics but am happy to report back what I figure out.

Not sure what you mean by texmgr (texdist?), but tlmgr will work fine as long as it's in your path, and TLU will work fine if you point it to /usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-darwin or whatever full path. It'll be neat when everyone install 10.11 and /usr/texbin quits working, though.

whoops- yes- meant texdist sorry. Been on the road all day. But- gonna be the usual cool OS ‘improvement' chaos! Skim doesn’t work under this beta, also traditional.

Man-

-f

The /usr is protected with El Capitan, so the texbin symlink is in /Library/TeX/texbin now, you have to change that in the TeX Live Utility. After that change, everything works just fine.
