    initial v1  
    22> If letting MacPorts attempt to set up the Metal toolchain automatically is not considered acceptable and users (and the buildbot maintainers 😉) should always set up the Metal toolchain manually themselves, then we'd have to drop steps 3 and 4, but the actionable error message would still be an improvement over the current situation.
    33
    4 Instead of either erroring out or setting up Metal automatically MacPorts could also offer to set it up and let the user decide? If they don’t want MacPorts to do that, MacPorts could skip the port that requires it and continue with the next, instead of aborting the whole execution with an error.
