Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2009-01-06 21:37:33 EST 
From bug 260066

There are a few cases where various publishing actions need to look in "input repositories".  We want to separate keep separate the output of the publishing from any inputs.  Right now the publisher knows only about one repo, an output repo.  More often than not it starts out empty.  In the cases where you are publishing bits in isolation of the complete picture, you may need more context.  Something that some existing repos could supply.  

Action: Add a means of spec'ing input artifact and metadata repos.  Need to look at how to talk about and position them but otherwise these should just be setup on the Info.

This also seems to be related with bug #259792

I likely should not have forked this off as the fix will end up being part of the patches for bug 260066.  closing as a duplicate.
