#12176 closed enhancement (wontfix)

RFE: meta ports for ease of installing complex ports

Description

I think some meta-ports of commonly-used bundles of components -- Apache2/php/mysql -- should be installed and managed as a single entity.

If I request that the ports system install the meta-port "amp" (apache/mysql/php), that port depends on apache with the php DSO, mysql server with the client libraries, and php with its hooks to connect to MySQL.

As it is now, to get these you need to "install php5 +mysql5 +apache2" as well as mysql5 +server and it's far from clear how that works out.
