Bug#542401: please do not downlad anything if used in buildd context

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: libmodule-cpants-analyse-perl
Version: 0.85+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Module::CPANTS::Analyze::Kwalitee::Distros downloads a file from alioth in its 
get_debian() function. This is bad during package build for two reasons:

 * it loads alioth
 * information leak from buildd's (host x.y.z.t is building atm)

The tests behave well if the file can't be downloaded so no FTBFS can happen if 
the network can't be accessed, it is just this "phoning home" that I think is 
bad.

I suggest a solution that detects debian package build environment (for example 
defined $ENV{DEB_HOST_ARCH}), prints something to make the user aware via TAP 
and skips the download.

This way people running "make test" or "./Build test" by hand can still test 
their modules and building packages using Module::CPAN::Analyze will be safe 
and nice to alioth.


Thanks,
    dam
