[gobolinux-users] Compile script request/addendum: Metapackages

[V]

Hi,

Something Lucas mentioned reminded me about a
Compile/Recipe request:

Meta-packages or suggestions when packaging (I know
Recipes already support this more or less).

It would be nice if a meta-package option was set so
if one requested new GCC, new binutils and/or other
goodies could be folded into the Compile session. 
i.e. the associated tools with one Recipe get updated.
 In this case new binutils isn't manditory, but
probably a good idea.

I think something like this would work for larger
packages like KDE too, but I haven't looked at how the
KDE recipes are so maybe it's already this way...

V.
