Description Andrew Niefer CLA 2009-04-09 17:52:49 EDT 
When reusing metadata from context repositories (bug 259792, bug 265863), the build may produce a repository that does not contain everything required to install a product (or feature).

This will occur in the particular case of root files associated with feature groups.

After finishing with out publishing of metadata, we should do a mirror:
{ buildRepo, contextRepo } -> buildRepo
of the top level feature or product we are interested.  This mirror should do slicing to follow all dependencies.  This should transfer all required IUs in the context but not yet present in the buildRepo.  This should not cause the build to fail in the event of some missing requirements.
Comment 1 Andrew Niefer CLA 2009-04-14 17:27:19 EDT 
This is done, we currently mirror the product, or the list of binary features
