Creating custom metapackage

[Jeremy Lavergne]

> I'm trying to create a meta package (port mpkg) using MacPorts, containing required and optional packages. I would like to group all the optional packages, so it is possible to select/deselect the entire group under "Custom Install". However it should not be possible to select/deselect a single package in a group of optional packages.

But I'm not able to reach my desired result, and I cannot find any documentation (searching the web) on what attribute/value pairs can be used in the Info.plist file. In particular I'm thinking about the attribute 'IFPkgFlagPackageSelection' and similar ones.

Have you tried using a metapackage for each grouping and placing them all in a metapackage?
