I have been working on some back-end things to make sure that machines using my Munki service should upgrade OK, and I think I&#8217;m about there &#8211; a test install of Yosemite with packages like Symantec EndPoint, Latex, etc upgraded OK, though with various caveats.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need to be running MacTeX 2015 for a smooth update due to restrictions on what can be installed in the &#8216;unix&#8217; directories under El Cap.<\/li>\n<li>Symantec had an update for SEP out within a few days, and that seems OK. On my Munki service I have set things so the update is only pushed to machines running El Cap as the previous version seems to be fine on Yosemite, and I don&#8217;t see the point in fixing what ain&#8217;t broke.<\/li>\n<li>MS Office 2016 seems to be badly broken, and according to Microsoft the fixes will be coming from Apple in an OS X update. How much this affects you depends on how much you use Office.
