Reproducible Builds: Weekly report #144

Published: Jan 30, 2018.


Here’s what happened in the Reproducible Builds effort between Sunday January 21 and Saturday January 27 2018:

Media coverage

Development and fixes in key packages

  • Mattia uploaded dpkg (1.19.0.5.0~reproducible1) to our experimental toolchain.

  • cpython-3.7 now has .pyc files without timestamps. Most work happening in PEP 552 but older Python versions probably still need variants of the mtime patch because the new .pyc format is not compatible.

Packages reviewed and fixed, and bugs filed

Reviews of unreproducible packages

35 package reviews have been added, 37 have been updated and 91 have been removed in this week, adding to our knowledge about identified issues.

Weekly QA work

During our reproducibility testing, FTBFS bugs have been detected and reported by:

  • Adrian Bunk (24)
  • Niels Thykier (8)

diffoscope development

reproducible-website development

jenkins.debian.net development

Misc.

This week’s edition was written by Bernhard M. Wiedemann, Chris Lamb, Mattia Rizzolo & reviewed by a bunch of Reproducible Builds folks on IRC & the mailing lists.
