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. That means my VOIP calls are screwed until the download is done. Even any of the Apple routers don't do QoS stuff I guess.
[Edit] Apparently the backwards compat is not good enough for Oracle :( -
-bash: ulimit: max user processes: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument
oracle@~$ sqlplus / as sysdba
Segmentation fault: 11
oracle@~$
[Edit2] And the scrollbars are throwing me off but there is a setting to revert to old behavior.
Xcode no longer works, JVM was removed and downloaded when I tried to use it - App Store doesn't seem to have a 10.7 compatible XCode update yet.
Ho hum for the most part and even nightmarish for people using Xcode.
I fail to see how it's worth mentioning. Xcode not being included in the Lion DMG is not surprising, it's "no shit": Xcode was never in the OSX image in the first place, why would Lion be any different?
The only difference is that 4.1 is not released yet, and thus not currently available. That's it. That it's not part of lion (let alone installed by default) is anything but surprising.
Wasn't that always the case as well? I don't remember but that seems likely since Apple always releases a new Xcode version synchronized with the main OS.
Can't say, I am recent OS X convert. Took me a second to figure out why all the stuff I installed with brew stopped working. Turned out git somehow got uninstalled/disabled, and brew relies on being able to find gcc in the path, and it was no longer there. Updated to newer XCode to get gcc back, and all is happy.
Just to note, i never bought the xcode 4 package from the app store. After I purchased snow leopard the price changed from $4.99 to free.
So while the base os install doesn't have it, it appears as though the naysayers were wrong about them charging for the dev tools. Although I have to go home and update to Lion to be able to download it, it won't let me snag it on my 10.6 system.
Just thought i'd throw that out into the wind so people don't think they need to have both bought. Though $5 is pretty miniscule imo.
As far as I know, 4.1 is still in GM, not released yet, you need a paid developer account to get the GM. In fact, not only is 4.1 not available, 4.0 is gone from MAS.
As an active developer with apps in the store etc, I don't like upgrading xcode until it's a final release. I've used GMs and betas too many times and then found out I can't submit code built from it.
It's really annoying, and I'm not about to test out the buggy xcodes or manage multiple installs. The current 4.x retail releases are buggy enough.
So if that's the way it's going to be I will also wait for everything to be released fully.
Oh I'm in the same place (well I'm a 3rd party developer supporting many shops like yours).
I've heard from one of the MailChimp guys 4.1 was submitting binaries just fine.
I call myself 'An Upgrade Coward'. I'm afraid of Xcode3 breaking even (a couple clients). Probably going to dupe my SSD into the Spinner so I have a working Xcode3 install no matter what.
You do know you can install multiple Xcode versions in parallel right?
If you have any kind of Oracle support contract, please put in a ticket. From what I've read, Oracle has adopted 'until paying customers complain enough, we don't even know OS X 10.7 exists' stance on this.
Also, knowing how long it took them to get a working x86 client out, I wouldn't hope to use 10.7 for Oracle-related development at least till next year.
I'm on SL and I also depend on Oracle 10g, so thanks for the note on the Seg Fault, that would be showstopper moving to Lion.
Now, I get the ulimit error on SL too, that's just that your "oracle" user is not authorized to set ulimit that high (it's in your oracle ~/.bashrc). You probably followed the installation instructions from Pythian (http://www.pythian.com/news/1937/quick-install-guide-for-ora...), just like I did. If you didn't get that error before, maybe the Lion installation has reset the max processes limit.
