I think it's nicer to have FDEPEND because it makes the deps more complete, so the package manager can bail out when necessary, without even executing src_fetch. In the case of --fetchonly the package manager could simply bail out if the deps are not installed (like how it bails out for --buildpkgonly when the deps aren't installed). -- Thanks, Zac
