The idea is that you have separate repositories configured for each |
| 50 |
ROOT. If it's satisfying a build-time DEPEND that will be installed into |
| 51 |
ROOT=/, then it's supposed to use the repositories configured for ROOT=/. |

Currently, that argument is only used by repoman, since it uses a |
| 57 |
StringIO instance to adjust the config there. Unless you are using the |
| 58 |
python API directly, this functionality is currently not exposed to the |
| 59 |
user. |
