Is there an easy way to select a specific Xcode or CLT version for CI workflows? Developers could insert such temporary control into individual PR's, to be excluded upon merging. Alternatively, Macports could insert this into macports-ports/master for community benefit, while we ride out the wait for Apple fixes or other solutions.
Any problems seen on CI due to Xcode 15 will also be seen by end users running that Xcode version. So any necessary workarounds should be applied in ports based on $xcodeversion and/or $xcodecltversion.
It's probably possible to install a different Xcode version as part of the CI bootstrap script, but that would eat up a lot of build minutes and would just be hiding the problems that users will be seeing if they're not worked around.
