Those could come in handy; I thought they should still be available from Apple, but finding the
download links for older versions directly in the developer space can be tricky.
I remember I was able to dig up Xcode versions back to 11 or 12 ultimately, which you would
of course also need, since 15 is only supported on Ventura and above.

Not sure if Big Sur may still allow direct upgrading an existing Fink, bootstrapping a new installation
however should work for both now, while Fink on Sonoma would certainly have to be considered
beta ath this time.

I am running a dual-boot system with Monterey and Ventura on my M1 machine, with both
native arm64 and x86_64 in Rosetta Fink installations in both, and am generally find myself
still using Monterey more, as there are packages that have been made to work on the latter,
but not on Ventura yet (plus a number that are unsupported on arm64).
