Is it possible to negotiate with Apple to have MacPorts be able to fetch and install the xcode command line tools by itself without a user having to either use the apple developers site or install the huge Xcode.app manually?
This simply will never happen. Apple provides us with no special treatment, other than hosting; they will not allow us to bypass the the Mac Dev Center. (Note that downloading the Command Line Tools //always// requires logging in, either through Xcode or on the website.) FYI, these sort of open-ended queries really should go to one of the [[MailingLists|mailing lists]], not Trac. You’d get more discussion there because more devs subscribe to the lists than monitor the bug tracker. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39790#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Nope, Trac tickets aren’t sent to macports-users or macports-dev. There is [https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-tickets macports- tickets], but it’s kind of high-volume (as you might imagine), and most devs don’t want that firehose filling their inboxes. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39790#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Let's see how the command line tools setup works in Mavericks. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39790#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
