#109 [check idea] determine if packages are "calling home"
Opened 9 years ago by tflink. Modified 7 years ago

This was proposed after someone mentioned the following debian bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=786909

The software in question is reportedly downloading binary blobs that have no released source and not giving users the ability to opt-out.

It might be nice to have a check that roughly does:
* install package X
* launch at least one binary from X
* do some trivial operation with that binary
* verify that no unexpected network traffic was observed
