The base system build is 99% reproducible. ISOs should be reproducible as well, modulo timestamps. Reproducible packages are extremely difficult to get right. Baptiste spent a lot of time and effort trying to get them to work before the official switch to pkgng. Many packages compile the build host's name and / or the current date and time into various binaries. Python stores the timestamp of the original .py file into the .pyc file and will attempt to recompile it if that timestamp does not match or the .py file's mtime is equal to or greater than the .pyc file's mtime. Emacs does similar shenanigans with .el and .elc files. > These days these flaws are more than a bit ridiculous, You seem to be implying that everybody else is doing it except us. This is not true.
