I haven't tested that work. But at least with MacPorts 2.4.1 I perceived that
not having an SDK matching the running OS version would be a problem for some
ports, so I didn't update our OS X 10.11 buildbot worker from Xcode 7 to 8, and
similarly I won't update our macOS 10.12 worker from Xcode 8 to 9.
Yes, that's right. The mail I have seen was about some commits from
Jeremy, now you reminded me. Thanks.
What if MacPorts outputted a warning when there's a SDK mismatch (maybe
pointing users to the right version of Xcode to use)? In my case, when
Xcode was updated I didn't know it had the 10.13 SDK until ports started
failing, and it would have saved me a bit of troubleshooting. Is it a
worthwhile idea to implement?
