+# A metapackage is a file containing a list of packages.
+# This script just installs all the packages in a metapackage.

+# In the mean term, metapkg will not be developed, but the code will rest
+# until someone need it. Some ideas to think for the future of metapkg would
+# be a better integration with simplepkg structure, like:
+#
+# - By default metapkg searches by a slack-required in the package/slackbuilds repos
+# - With -f, metapkg uses a local file (template, slack-required or tagfile)
