an IRC user suggested that they would like to see Parabola featured on the reproducible-builds website and lukeshu answered that reproducibility was indeed an active goal so i decided to look into it
i contacted some reproducible-builds team members to ask if they had a review process and what sort of logistics were involved - in short, what it amounts to is a script integrated into their jenkins server that periodically downloads sources and runs verification builds then displays the results on the web the first thing they wanted to see understandably was some documentation of the plan or progress to date - i unfortunately could not find anything published regarding Parabola's efforts in this direction so i made a new page on the Parabola wiki to serve as a jumping off point https://wiki.parabola.nu/Reproducible_Builds on that page there are listed several bullet points marked as 'TODO' that were suggested by the reproducible-builds team as a good starting point for consideration i am willing to help out in any way i can but at this point im not sure who is the most knowledgeable person regarding Parabola's reproducible build procedure - someone with that internal knowledge will need to complete at least the first couple of TODO items in order to move forward (some preliminary documentation - namely, to describe something about the procedures, tools, current progress, and/or goals)
