id like to clarify a bit what i think are some mis-conceptions expressed yesterday in the IRC channel regarding reproducible builds
a jenkins server is not a requirement for this task - there is no standard procedure or tooling to achieve reproducibility - the jenkins integration is for the reproducible-builds.org CI server to demonstrate that packages can be built and verified by a third-party - for the actual work each distro is free to use whatever procedure and tools suits them for the plainly speaking general goal of making their builds reproducible that being said - the jenkins integration is already done - arch has been working with them for some time and arch packages are already building on the "reproducible-builds" CI server - also to be clear they are not the AUR packages but the official arch packages - the next major step forward for arch and parabola is to patch pacman to reproduce and verify builds - ive been told that this patch is completed and nearly ready to be implemented widely so there are no major technical blocks to begin - the first step for parabola is to address the TODO: items on the wiki article - anthraxx and the reproducible-builds team are eager to work with parabola once some planning, competency, and/or current efforts are demonstrated publicly https://wiki.parabola.nu/Reproducible_Builds
