Yes. To help us automate approving the many submission and thousands of 
scripts in the repo, we sometimes need to add a hint to the bot based on 
the README. Willy meant for this one, we don't have any hints setup, so 
it just builds by downloading the source tarball and running the script.

It actually needs internet access, so could add that to the README and 
we'll add a hint to the bot to allow it to access the internet. Many 
scripts that require it have a block like this:

But also check my other message in this thread. It is downloading 
something to compile, so it might be better instead to add a dependency 
for what it needs or to explicitly list that source in DOWNLOAD?
