the latest version of optiboot ... does not require disabling auto-reset.
Is anyone doing this on Mac/linux with bare avrdude and ftdi based "Uno" boards?
I know it's supposed to work, but on my Mac I keep getting failures that look like autoreset is still preventing it from working, though it gets surprisingly far (and works OK WITH some form of auto-reset disable):
