I usually don't bother with beta OS's or GM seeds (unless they're in a VM!) on my "daily" machine, but I'm curious to know whether the GM seed can be updated to the release version/10.9.1 and onwards?
I'm not sure on Apple's history here re: OS X GM seeds.
- hboon 13y agoHistorically, yes for both iOS and OS X. They are also the same version as the publicly available version with a few rare exceptions.
- tenpaiyomi 13y agoFor the past few OS beta to GM transitions I've been a part of (10.6, 10.7, 10.8), the GM is the same thing as the public release, so when 10.9.1 comes out, you'll upgrade just the same.
- eridius 13y agoGM Seed means quite literally what it says. It's the build that will be released to customers if nothing showstopping crops up.
- unfamiliar 13y agoIt says quite literally that it is the Golden Master, I don't know how you literally read all that other stuff into it.
- masklinn 13y ago"Golden Master" is what went to CD/DVD printing when we still had those. GM = "the build that will be released to customers" Seed = "if nothing showstopping crops up."
