dependencies during build
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1439?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16757974#comment-16757974 ]
James E. King III commented on THRIFT-1439:
-------------------------------------------
I looked at our debian/control file and it looks like it's woefully out of date... leaving this open.

> 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
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: debian

> 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.
