dh-make-perl 0.59 FTBFS since NO_NETWORK is unset

[Geoffrey Thomas]

Binary package hint: dh-make-perl

Bug #404272 merged in 0.59, to fix an FTBFS in 0.57 fixed in 0.58. Unfortunately, the additional changes between 0.58 and 0.59 included a replacement of debian/rules with just the "dh" command, which unintentionally stopped setting NO_NETWORK while running tests. This causes the package build to fail while running tests, because the buildds are not connected to the network.

This is eventually fixed in svn HEAD after some other various work on debian/rules, but you should be able to fix it more simply by replacing "dh" with "NO_NETWORK=1 dh", as in the attached debdiff.

Given this, perhaps the most appropriate change is to *assume* there
is no network unless TEST_INTERNET is a true value.

Have you looked into dh-make-perl 0.60 at all? gregor said that this issue is fixed in 0.60. Depending on the changes introduced, it might be better to sync the package rather than maintain a delta. It will also allow the package to continue to be automatically synced from Debian once the lucid repositories open up.

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

The changes in 0.60 seem reasonable to me, and I can confirm that it build correctly. Sync request in Bug 453272

[Ansgar Burchardt (aburch)]

This issue should be fixed in dh-make-perl/0.60.
