See \l{brep#submit Package Submission} for details on the submission
request handling by archive repositories.
+
+ If the \cb{--forward} option is specified then the forwarded
+ configurations are used to prepare the package distributions. In
+ particular, this means that in this mode the project doesn't need to be
+ initialized and all that's required is for package's source directories
+ to be configured to forward to an out of source build configuration (see
+ \l{b(1)} for details on forwarded configurations). This, for example, can
+ be used to publish packages that don't use the standard version.
