Hi, I rewrote the patches according to KiBi's feedback and they are now uploaded to our jessie-kfreebsd suite, and this Git branch: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer.git/log/?h=jessie-kfreebsd
In my own testing on ZFS, file ordering was still an issue for the
makefs tool that builds the initrd. But if I were to try again
on UFS, I hope to be able to reproduce the entire
netboot-installer-images tarball as built by the buildds.
This tarball includes bits that are bundled onto the official release
images by debian-cd tools. Making this reproducible is a prerequisite
for someday having reproducibly-built official release images.
I could merge these patches into sid if they seem okay? The only
commit that should not be merged is this one, which is specific to
jessie-kfreebsd and must be slightly changed for sid:
kfreebsd: use makefs -T to clamp timestamps
I expect that Linux d-i builds will have some reproducibility issues
in whatever generates the initrd or ISOs, but I may look into that after
the jessie-kfreebsd release is done.
Regards,
