Hi, I recently updated the ghc portfile to the latest release. A number of people have reported trouble building it, all apparently related to old versions of Xcode. A few of these users say they have applied all available software updates. Are new version of Xcode still being provided through Apple's Software Update, or do I need to direct them to the developer site to download the latest? Best, Greg

Afaik. new versions of Xcode have always only been available through ADC. - Daniel

I received several Xcode updates through Apple's Software Update in the past, although the last was quite some time ago. The Apple developer docs also mention Xcode updates being distributed through Software Update, e.g., The Xcode v1.1 update provides overall stability and performance enhancements to Xcode IDE, as well as improvements to debugging, workflow, the Xcode build system and CodeSense. Xcode Update v1.1 is being distributed via Software Update, available to any system which already has Xcode installed. Does anyone know if (or when) this policy changed? Do full version steps (i.e., 2.3 to 2.4) require a full downloads, or does every Xcode update now require a download from ADC? -Greg

As others have said, AFAIK newer version of Xcode are only available as full manual downloads. I think it is a misperception that Xcode is updated via software update.

That's why I explcitly direct users to get the latest from Apple's developer site and warn them of port install failures if they do not. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts But I think I'll add even more explicit verbage today about software update not updating Xcode -unless and until someone comes up with evidence otherwise. I want that page to be accurate so we can just point people to it. Mark
