Bug#1011225: python-ulmo: autopkgtests require an online connection

[Lukas Märdian]

Package: python-ulmo
Version: 0.8.8+dfsg1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

python-ulmo tests fails on the autopkgtest.ubuntu.com infrastructure, due to
the proxy environment that is being used there (i.e. no full access to the
internet). Some of the tests require an online connection to download certain
files. Upstream implemented mocking capabilities for some of those tests, but
the "tests/files/" directory, containing the mock data, has been removed during
the DFSG repack.

We want to disable any tests that require an online connection, to make the
testsuite more reliable and reproducible. Ideally, we would enable mocking
of those HTTP queries, but apparently the 3rd party test/mock data has an
unclear licensing situation.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Disable some more tests that require an online connection

Thanks for considering the patch.

Cheers,
  Lukas
