is there a bitbake command to *just* fetch all necessary packages?

is there a bitbake command to *just* fetch all necessary packages?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  perhaps i'm just misreading the docs, but is there a bitbake
incantation that does *nothing* more than fetch the packages needed
for a target image?

  if i use "bitbake -c fetchall", the result is not just to fetch the
source, but to unload and patch it as well.  i don't want that, i want
whatever the magic is to just *fetch* and leave it at that.  or is
that simply not possible?

hmmm I thought it did just what it says 'fetch all' but as you say it
seems to do more hmm I am not sure if its intended behavior

In order for fetchall to work, there are a few dependencies that have to be 
executed as well..

But bitbake -c fetchall <target>, will fetch everything needed for the <target> 
recipe.  It will extract and build only the items necessary for fetch to work 
properly.

So just to be clear, the issues are git-native, potentially
subversion-native and also potentially pseudo-native getting built by
the wrapper. If you add those to ASSUME_PROVIDED, and skip the wrapper,
to avoid pseudo-native (or teach the wrapper to pass through -c fetchall
directly?) it will just fetch.

Cheers,
