Bug#764868: libio-socket-ssl-perl: test suite makes network connections

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libio-socket-ssl-perl
Version: 1.998-1
Severity: serious

The tests in t/external/ make network connections to several sites over
the Internet during the build. If the initial connect fails, the tests
are skipped, so the package will still build without a network connection.

This is a privacy violation and mentioned in the Debian Perl Group Policy, see
 http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/policy.html#test_suites

I'm not quite sure if it should be considered release critical or not.
Filing at 'serious' for now but feel free to downgrade if you know better.

I think we've standardized on using the NETWORK_TESTING environment
variable for this though I can't find much documentation about it.
