Package: libmath-randomorg-perl Versoin: 0.03-2 Severity: important Tags: patch
Hi! The package libmath-randomorg-perl requires network access during build, so the build fails when the network access is not available (or the referenced website is down). Accessing the network during build is bad for these reasons: - It's a privacy concern: without being asked, some information about the system is being sent to a remote host; - It should be possible to autobuild the package on a buildd with no network access. - The test has a high probability to fail lateron because of the referenced host (temporarily) disappearing. Attached is a patch to fix it. Please consider. Thijs
