[mapserver-users] Hiding the layers contained in a group from the WMS GetCapabilities

[Daniel Morissette]

I don't think MapServer 6.0 supports what you are trying to do, but I 
think this is something that was going to be addressed by the INSPIRE 
work (RFC 75, ticket #3608). Not sure if that's in place in trunk 
already or not.

Stephan Meissl would be best to answer that one if he's reading this... 
or otherwise you could ask on the mapserver-inspire list.
