All this assumes you've installed MacTeX-2015. If you haven't or want more information go to <http://www.tug.org/mactex/elcapitan.html>.

I haven’t looked at Sneep’s typeset scripts to see what might need to be changed there. At the moment the only script by Sneep that I’m using is his source-to-pdf synchronization script, which shouldn’t be affected by El Capitan at all. I’ll let you know how it works out, but like I indicated, it could be a number of days, but hopefully by this weekend sometime. I don’t even know if Grigg or Sneep are still maintaining their scripts.

I am using Maarten Sneep’s 2011 CompileTeX scripts with BBEdit and Skim. I upgraded to El Capitan last night (I am the guinea pig for my department) and can confirm that the only change I had to make to get them running under the new system was to make the single replacement in the Unix shell script CompileTeX-engine suggested by Herb. Documents compiled with these scripts under Yosemite now compile under El Capitan. I am using MacTeX 2015 installed under Yosemite then updated for 10.11.

So far my experience with the upgrade step from Yosemite to El Capitan has been good.

Best, John
