-----------------------+-----------------
 I upgraded my Mac OS to 10.13 High Sierra
 I upgraded MacPort downloading and running the
 MacPorts-2.4.1-10.13-HighSierra.pkg
 When then running sudo port upgrade outdated, I get this error :

 [macp2052:~] caux% sudo port selfupdate

 --->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

 The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you
 should run
   port upgrade outdated

 Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find
 Portfile in /Users/caux").
 Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
 To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.

 In the file
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_gcc48/gcc48/main.log

 I see

 gcc48 is not supported on macOS High Sierra and newer

 Is this definitive ? Meaning the software I have needing gcc48 to compile
 will not be working anymore ?
