debian packaging: do not download dependencies during build
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-1439
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1439
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Deployment
Environment: any Debian-based OS
Reporter: paul cannon
It is very much against Debian procedure and policy for a package build process
to download dependencies from the internet. There are a lot of reasons for
this; among them, guaranteed build repeatability, security auditability,
non-reliance on websites remaining available, and license auditability.
The thrift Debian packaging (in contrib/) should use Maven in offline mode, if
Maven is actually required for the Java build phase. Build-dependencies should
be expressed as a list of Debian packages under "{{Build-Depends:}}" in
debian/control.
