Description
Describe the bug
This is super! I have noticed the recent update regarding the repository naming to packages.broadcom/photon as seen in https://github.com/vmware/photon/commit/c860b529d92989d8beff63a768fa0a0628990a0a. Additionally, the following link is now active: https://packages.broadcom.com/artifactory/photon/photon_sources/1.0/.
While reviewing the repository, I observed the presence of a package named "no". What is that package?

Beside that one, here some strange 'X files'.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the package listing at packages.broadcom.com/artifactory/photon/photon_sources/1.0/ and the linked repository rename commit. There are no files or tests named in the issue, so first determine how the listed artifacts are produced and whether the package named "no" is intentional. Done means documenting the artifact naming and package purpose clearly.
