Well, after thinking about this again, we could also do it the other way around. The majority of ports already builds just fine if you have the Command Line Tools only, without Xcode (ignore warnings from base about missing xcodebuild, it's not actually required in this case). That would allow to save the additional installation of Xcode.app and only require `xcode-select --install`. However, with only ~2.5 GiB, the reduced disk usage without Xcode.app is quite small compared to the increasing drive capacities. For this variant we would first need to track which parts of Xcode and which SDKs are actually required for each port. This information could however also be relevant for sandboxing/trace mode. Maybe we could add some new depspec to base to mark ports that require the full Xcode installation, something like: depends_build tool:xcode Rainer _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
