Package: commons-pool
Version: 1.2-5
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS + requiring internet access during build brings lots of problems
Hi,
I determined that when building commons-pool, internet access is used to
retrieve files from java.sun.com:
28.096135 10.69.1.34 -> 10.69.7.225 DNS Standard query A
java.sun.com
28.264390 10.69.7.225 -> 10.69.1.34 DNS Standard query response A
72.5.124.55
28.264603 10.69.1.34 -> 72.5.124.55 TCP 44554 > www [SYN] Seq=0
Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=5388994 TSER=0 WS=7
31.267002 10.69.1.34 -> 72.5.124.55 TCP 44554 > www [SYN] Seq=0
Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=5389744 TSER=0 WS=7
37.266808 10.69.1.34 -> 72.5.124.55 TCP 44554 > www [SYN] Seq=0
Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=5391244 TSER=0 WS=7
Quoting #393900:
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 build has a high probability to fail lateron because of the
referenced host (temporarily) disappearing.
About the archive rebuilt:
The rebuilt was done on about 60 AMD64 nodes of the Grid'5000 platform,
using a chroot containing an etch i386 environment (not unstable).
Internet was not accessible from the build nodes.
About Grid'5000:
The Grid'5000 project aims at building a highly reconfigurable
experimental Grid platform gathering 9 sites and featuring a total of
5000 CPUs. Its main purpose is to serve as an experimental testbed for
research in Grid Computing. To learn more about Grid'5000, read
