Description:
The effort to ensure that open-source software is reproducible has been gathering steam over the years, and gaining traction with major Linux distributions. Debian, for example, has been working toward reproducible
builds for more than a decade; it can now produce official
live CDs of the current stable release that are
reproducible. Fedora started on the path much later, but it has
progressed far enough that the project is now considering a change
proposal for the Fedora43 development cycle, expected to be
released in October, with a goal of
making 99% of Fedora's package builds reproducible. So far, reaction
to the proposal seems favorable and focused primarily on how to
achieve the goalwith minimal pain for packagersrather than whether to attempt it.
