Is there anyone who has successfully migrated Macport to Sonoma?

[Tao Zhang]

Hi Josh,

  Thanks for your helpful comments. One more question:

    gfortran and ifort  do not work after upgrading to Sonoma. see below.
  1) Should I upgrade to the latest Xcode15 or old Xcode14 to fix this 
problem?
  2)  It is reported that Xcode15 does not work well with Macport, right?

  Thanks
  Tao
