It's difficult to get all dependencies when not all sources have been
yet
downloaded.
With DIP11, yes. With a traditional-style package manager, no.
With either style, you need to download a package in order to determine if
you need to download other packages (package a may depend on package b
even though your project does not depend on package b). The DIP11 version
does this JIT, whereas your version does it before compilation. It's not
really any different.
