DNS Resolution on Builders not working

Asked by Joshua Anderson

When building a package for a ppa on the launchpad builders, every attempt to resolve a domain fails. A example of a failing build is https://launchpad.net/~joshua-anderson/+archive/ubuntu/test/+build/6646658 .

The error message is: 'Could not resolve host: github.com'

Are the builders prevented for accessing the internet? I looked around but didn't see any sign of that in the documentation. Do I need to configure DNS myself?

Launchpad's build farm does not have Internet access, to ensure that builds won't suddenly start failing because an external website has changed and to prevent abuse of our freely available resources.

If your package requires external code, you must package it and include the package in your Build-Depends field, or embed the code in your source package.

Can you help with this problem?
