Things Yosemite (OSX 10.10) broke

It's upgrade season again, and I thought I'd list stuff that stopped working after installing Yosemite.

- vpnc

     This was due to a decision made by Apple to lock down .kext kernel extensions. As a result, the tuntaposx kernel extension would not load. You have to set an nvram (!!) parameter to get this going again.

sudo nvram -p | grep boot-args (Check for existing boot arguments)

sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" (Disable kext signature checking)

     Clearly, if you already have boot arguments, you should append instead of replacing.

- mvim

    Looks like a library problem. I'm updating the dev kit, and will grab the latest version of mvim when that's done.
