So having bumped into this list I was curious if others know of any
better tooling for being able to consistently rebuild rpms from their
src rpm packages.
There is also my 'rbk' (rebuild with KVM) tool in
https://github.com/bmwiedemann/reproducibleopensuse/
that uses 'osc build' underneath that works with our (openSUSE's)
open-build-service. It also works for other rpm-based (Fedora, Mageia,
SLES and CentOS) packages in there.
I did not test it with src.rpms but the only significant difference is
that the .changes file gets folded into the .spec file, which might make
a difference for our process to set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
The obs-build tool [1] will setup a build env from scratch for KVM and
it also supports podman and chroot for isolation.
