Sort of a "nosrc repo" that > contains only metadata and no actual packages. I work with nosrc packages extremely seldom so I'm not sure what they export, really. If you put a bunch of nosrc packages in a repo can you even see them? Can we know what they'll end up exporting out once built? I don't think we can so matching them up for resolving a dep would be difficult if it is possible at all. -sv
