Try with this patch to disable the test suite if it's building in a ppa. I grabbed this trick from juju-deployer, which disables tests that require networking if DEB_BUILD_ARCH or TESTING_ENVIRONMENT are set.

Watch tab/spaces above: the "ifeq" and "endif" statements use spaces, the rest uses tabs (makefile syntax).

Actually, juju-deployer checks this this:

TEST_OFFLINE = ("DEB_BUILD_ARCH" in os.environ or "TEST_OFFLINE" in os.environ)

Forget that DEB_BUILD_ARCH test, doesn't seem to work, I get it defined when building locally.

Actually, it might work :)

Actually², let's disable tests during package build for now.

Ok, with this patch http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6845731/ it builds and runs *some* tests.

I also removed the Vcs options, no sense in pointing to that if we are keeping our own packaging branch I think.

Here is a build log with the patch applied:

http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6845894/ buildlog for precise, also with the above patch applied.

Patch applied - it seems to build fine indeed (https://launchpad.net/~tribaal/+archive/storm-trunk-ppa).
Thanks a lot!

Nice, +1
