Re: GSoC 2019 [Phase out dependency on Xcode]

[Satryaji Aulia]

Hi Marcus and Mojca. I’ve fleshed out my proposal (also my understanding of MacOS compilers) again. To disallow Xcode compilers, I added my idea to use a compiler blacklist which implementation already exists. I’ve also worked a lot on my macports-base PR and am confident that I can comfortably code in Tcl. I marked the PR ready for review as it is now already functional. Demo here: https://asciinema.org/a/1X9VFUxRXncOE1m7PhB9DVKcX Any feedback on my proposal would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Die-hard rubyist would probably turn to the other package manager :). We are currently also not packaging asciidoctor, for example (which would be nice to have for our documentation / guide). Of course, sorry to assume it’s not urgent. Also, I used port bump on asciidoctor to test it out and submitted a PR. Also added the fact that there's already a proposal for that problem area. Project may complement each other, and students are welcome to help each other, in particular if one is stronger in a particular field. If you are an eager rubyist, even if the upt project gets selected and the ruby import gets implemented, the expertise and/or passion to improve this area would still help. Alright, got it. Thank you for your help.
