Modern languages typically come with their own package managers.
To make it possible to fetch external modules per a controlled set of dependency specifications (cargo.lock, go.mod etc.), perhaps it would make sense to offer an extra
fetch
phase where networking is implicitly allowed, whilst then turning off networking for all remaining phases?I imagine that this would be a fully backwards compatible change, given empty phases are simply skipped.
Example:
In addition, having a separate fetch phase would also enable us to split that phase out timing wise in the end-of-build overview (thanks to Ikey for pointing this out).
