+==== Make MacPorts work even without Xcode ==== #self-hosting
+
+See [[ticket:29172|ticket #29172]] and [[https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2013-March/022374.html|this thread on the mailing lists]] for more info. This task involves portability fixes to make MacPorts work when Xcode is not available. This could be integrated with the "MacPorts port for self-management" section above to make this an effort to make MacPorts entirely self-hosting.

 ==== Perl modules integration from CPAN ==== #cpan2port
 
 There has been [[browser:contrib/cpan2port|an attempt]] to write a script for automatic generation of Portfiles from CPAN. This would simplify the maintenance of Perl modules in MacPorts. Revive this project and finish the script or rewrite it.
