Well, that sure uncorked the sluices :-)

My weekly "port upgrade outdated" kept getting stuck on "gpsd" requiring 
Xcode, and now my poor li'l MB Pro is going flat out like a lizard 
drinking...

That's the one; thanks!  And thanks to others as well.

The range of Xcode versions that are compatible with each macOS version is 
documented in our wiki:

Not sure which version you need, but it will be there.

Xcode for Sierra 10.12.6

2021-05-23 Thread Dave Horsfall 
Odd; a while ago I asked where I could get Xcode for Sierra 10.12.6 as 
it's no longer officially supported, and received a number of replies.


With the coming of MacPorts 2.7.0 I realised that I needed it and went 
looking for said messages, but they seem to have vanished.


So, where can I find Xcode for 10.12.6 (oldish MacBook Pro w/ 4GB mem -- 
to be upgraded to 8GB when I can afford it -- and 400GB SSD)?


The original Xcode did not get copied over from the old MacBook (via the 
Time Capsule) with Migration Assistant, hence the need to install it 
again.


Thanks.

PS: I might give High Sierra a go, but let's get Xcode back first.
