We will set aside some time to be available for asking questions about anything related to Reproducible Builds. This is an opportunity to ask introductory questions and is intended to be welcoming to newcomers, though of course, any questions relating to Reproducible Builds should be fair game! We had fun at the first session: http://meetbot.debian.net/reproducible-builds/2020/reproducible-builds.2020-11-30-17.19.log.html So we are going to try this again! Our next session is planned for January 7th, 18:00 UTC going until 20:00 UTC: https://time.is/compare/1800_07_Jan_2021_in_UTC The location will be irc.oftc.net in the #reproducible-builds channel. If you are new to IRC, there is a web interface available: https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=reproducible-builds Remember to wait for a few minutes after asking a question, to give people a chance to respond. Once you have joined the channel, even if there is a conversation already going, jump right in, no need to ask permission to speak!

Quick look at Reproducible Builds progress in Debian
I just wanted to spend a few moments looking over the progress Reproducible Builds has made in Debian over the last few release cycles. The percentage of packages that are reproducible admittedly doesn't look amazing, even though there has been steady progress: stretch 93.8% buster 94.1% bullseye 94.9% unstable 83.7% So, we've seen ~1% increase in reproducible builds over two release cycles since stretch, and despite being steady progress overall, it might feel a bit disappointing... but we also have a somewhat higher bar for bullseye (e.g. varied merged /usr) and much higher standard for unstable (e.g. varied build path). Yet a look at the overall numbers of packages that are reproducible by release: stretch 23204 buster 26740 bullseye 28560 unstable 26456 Over the last two releases, that is over 5000 additional packages that are reproducible. There are more *reproducible* packages in bullseye than the *total* number of packages in buster! Unstable has nearly the same number of reproducible packages as buster, despite a wider variety of variations, and more than 3000 more than stretch. And while we track issues by how many source packages are reproducible, I am fairly confident that many packages have had partial fixes applied that result in more reproducible binary packages, even if not all of the packages of a given source are reproducible. We unfortunately do not track that to demonstrate numbers, but I know it has happened for at least a few patches I've submitted. So, while Reproducible Builds in Debian is dealing with the challenges of a "last mile" problem (please forgive my use of an anacronistic measuring system), we're also keeping pace with thousands of newly introduced packages yet still gradually and steadily pulling ever so slightly further ahead! For reference, I'm just looking at and visually comparing: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/stretch/index_suite_amd64_stats.html https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/buster/index_suite_amd64_stats.html https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/bullseye/index_suite_amd64_stats.html https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/unstable/index_suite_amd64_stats.html Keep building reproducibly! live well, vagrant signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Reproducible-builds mailing list Reproducible-builds@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/reproducible-builds
