What I find convenient is to have one partition per OS and on all
partitions create a user with the same name and uid and point their home
folder to the *same* place. In other words, they all share the same
home folder instead of having separate ones. This means that your work
flow is not so disrupted: your dock icons are the same, desktop is the
same, etc.
I wouldn't do that. There is at least one directory in your home folder
that is OS dependent: Library. Since you are doing with no adverse
effect, we can deduce that ~/Library is [mostly] forward and backward
compatible, but I would not bet on that.
I've been doing it successfully since at least 2005 with every release of OS X since then, including almost every developer seed.
Whenever a new OS X appears, I install it into a new partition, replace /Users with a symbolic link to /Volumes/My User Partition/Users and create a symbolic link /Applications/Xcode.app → /Volumes/Previous OS/Applications/Xcode.app.
But then I have to recreate the users on the new OS. (Create gerriet, create administrator, create one more, delete the default me) Is there a way to just copy some file which contains the users to the new partitions to avoid this tedious and error prone creation of users?
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
