And likely check() in the future... (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15145).   Adding a fetch() function would allow us to easily fix FS#13727 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13727), where devel_update() is run before checking makedepends. From experience, someone needs to provide a PKGBUILD prototype for us to discuss or this suggestion would go nowhere...

How do we deal with the newpkgver stuff? should the fetch function overrides pkgver itself or something? This is weird..
