wow, nice results: kudos to Julien I'll have a deep look, because (as I already discussed with Julien at some Reproducible Builds events), if we combine his work on this bootstrapping approach with my own Reproducible Builds for Java / Reproducible Central [1] to get reproducible binary artifacts in Central Repository directly provided by upstream projects, we should have the best of both worlds: - a proof of rebuild capacity from source, which is important for deep safety, but not easy for normal users - a proof of content for reference binaries taken from Central Repository, to keep an easy binary consumption
What a progress in 1 year. It's sad we can't meet and discuss as we did last year. I'll try to join Guix day.
