Hi Justin, > On another note, I would say this is an ideal time to engage the > broader academic / open source communities about reproducible builds.
As it happens, Stefano Zacchiroli recently suggested to me that we write a paper together that we would first offer to IEEE Software. We got into a good routine and submitted to IEEE about a fortnight ago. It's aimed a more general audience, first defining the problem and then providing some insight into the challenges of actually making real-world software reproducible. We then use various experiences of the Reproducible Builds project to make large-scale software collections/supply-chains/ecosystems reproducible, and we also describe the affinity between reproducibility efforts and quality assurance (QA). More news when we have it, of course... Regards, -- o ⬋ ⬊ Chris Lamb o o reproducible-builds.org 💠 ⬊ ⬋ o
