Macports doesn't really rely on anything OS-X specific except for Xcode
And that's a big problem right there, I don't use xcode and its also a 15GB install!, so a waste to my small 128GB ssd.
Not to mention you will get nagging updates of a huge app you don't use, which takes lots of time to download and install.
Why doesn't macports make their pkg manager work just with the xcode cli tools? and for those pkgs that need xcode, tell the user they need to install xcode first.
