reproduce.debian.net - rebuilding what is distributed from ftp.debian.org

Track: Packaging, policy, and Debian infrastructure

Type: Short talk (20 minutes)

Room: Grand amphi

Time: Jul 15 (Tue): 11:30

Duration: 0:20

reproduce.debian.net attempts to bit-for-bit identically rebuild each Debian binary package found in the distribution archive, using the .buildinfo file produced when the buildd originally built the package. This talk will describe the current status of the setup, some current challenges and plans for the future.

This talk will not explain the basic ideas behind Reproducible Builds and why they are desirable, as this has been covered in many talks and workshops since DebConf13, see https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/history/ for how it all started and maybe watch the talk from DebConf24 as well.
