--- Begin Message ---Source: sphinx Version: 1.4.4-3 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 4.9 User: la...@debian.org Usertags: network-access Hi, According to Debian Policy 4.9, packages may not attempt network access during the build. However, the intersphinx mapping extension causes attempted network access in almost all of Sphinx' reverse build- dependencies. (Note that the network access does not cause a FTBFS if internet is disabled, but it may cause a package to contain different contents and is thus non-reproducible.) I've filed this against Sphinx, but I think a fix will require at least two changes: - A patch to Sphinx to disable network access based on some flag/environment variable. - dh-python (etc.) updated to set this specific flag. Filed as "serious" given that I could /technically/ file RC bugs against all of Sphinx's reverse dependencies but this seems less anti-social… Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org / chris-lamb.co.uk `-

I'll go ahead and file bugs against the individual packages :) Thanks! Do you have a list of such packages? I can try to look at those which are maintained by DPMT or PAPT.
