Not clear on the mechanics of meta-ports (maybe they contain tcl code with exec's to call port for installations of ports and all the variants required).

Ports should not exec port to install ports. Meta-ports just declare dependencies on some set of ports without themselves installing (m) any files (a port must however install at least 1 file or the destroot explodes; meta-ports thus often install just a readme).


The idea of a science milestone might work in trac (but maybe raises issues of conflicts about whether port tickets can tag multiple milestones).

I don't believe a ticket can have multiple milestones, and I don't think we should have milestones specific to certain groups of ports.
