+==== Phase out dependency on Xcode ==== #xcode
+
+MacPorts currently requires a full Xcode installation, even though a lot of ports will install just fine with the Command Line Tools package only. Since we also have a number of ports that need Xcode to build, we cannot completely remove the Xcode dependency. Your task would be to provide a way for maintainers to easily identify ports that depend on Xcode and mark them as such, so MacPorts can warn users without Xcode installed that a port they want to install needs the full Xcode package.
+
+To achieve this, you can modify "trace mode", a `DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES`-based sandbox to track whether a port has accessed files belonging to the Xcode package. If it does, your modifications should cause a warning to be printed suggesting the port maintainers to add `use_xcode yes` to the Portfile (unless of course, it is already there). You should also implement an error message if a user without Xcode installed tries to install a port that has `use_xcode yes` set.
