What I had been think was just having a package that would in turn do 
menuconfig 'selects' on all the necessary other items in the bundle.  Does that 
make sense?

And I think I remember Florian or someone else saying that 'feeds' was the 
right place to do this, but I'm still not entirely clear on how feeds is being 
used.

I'd be game for helping on this, as a typical port to other platforms is a bit 
of manual work.

I currently have a couple scripts that parse the package definition area from the 
.config, and then make delta changes to the new tree, but it would be nice to have a 
"Inherit" option within menuconfig that would do that automagically.

Hi.

I mentioned a couple of months ago the possibility of making meta-packages that 
select a platform and then a superset of packages to put on it, as a way of 
pre-packaging appliances as both a hardware platform and commonly selected 
software to go with it.

There seemed to be some interest in doing this.

I need to bring up a couple of new platforms anyway (including a Traverse 
Technologies 'Geos' board).  Anyone have the time to discuss with me what's 
involved in doing this?

Thanks,

-Philip
