20 I think in this case with --pretend the --fetchonly simply looks at the
21 SRC_URI in the ebuilds and outputs the urls that are required, I don't
22 think any correlation between those SRC_URIs and $DISTFILES/ is made.

24 Having said that I do know that running 1, 2, 3 & 4 as you describe, and
25 then running an emerge world will result in the packages being updated
26 without any additional downloads ... I've done it on numerous occasions.
