Can't build julia master (light-source-dist) on a server farm anymore

Hi guys!

I am the maintainer of julia in openSUSE. Besides the stable version, I keep building the master to track problems.

I get the sources by cloning the github repository and using make light-source-dist. Hence, I do not need internet connection and I can build it at openSUSE server farm. However, today I am experiencing a problem with documentations, I think. Here is the log:

As you can see, the build script is trying to access the Internet. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Is there a way to circumvent this problem? Should I open a bug?

Yeah, it is definitely a bug. The new script doc/make.jl will always be called when building julia and since it has a Pkg.init() it will need Internet connection.
