I was wondering if upgrading from Lion 10.7.4 to Mountain Lion 10.8 would wipe out all of my dependencies in /etc and others;

I ask because I have quite a few RoR projects each with different gem requirements and I'd hate to lose the delicate ecosystem I've set up, on account of an upgrade :/

Thanks for the pointers!

  • I would backup this information.

  • You probably shouldn't upgrade your OS without known good backups in any case, /etc or not...

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion few days ago and didn't lose my rails project & postgres database. However 3 things didn't work properly anymore — git, homebrew, and imagemagick.

Here's what I did to fix those three:

  1. Install Command Line Tools from the XCode preference menu.
  2. Fixed Homebrew.
  3. Run brew uninstall imagemagick and install it back again with brew install imagemagick.

  • I had to do all three of those as well. X11 is no longer installed by default, so some Homebrew formulas required XQuartz.
