Hello Axel. I can only give partial answers and minor comments, Holger and Mattia probably have an authoritative answer.
> Are not all chroots used by the reproducible-builds project setup > the same way? Assuming that by "setup the same way" we are not talking about all the things that change between build1 and build2, yes, the chroots should probably be setup "the same way" (or at least in a way that do not break packages gratuitously). > Should the reproducible-builds not take care that especially > faketime works in all their chroots? We should take care that *everything* works! :-) I don't think that faketime is a lot special about this. Most of the time a simple "touch" and options like tar's --owner and --group are enough to achieve reproducibility. Personally, I have not seen faketime to be used a lot, but this is just a personal feeling. Also, we have such amount of things to fix and diffoscope logs to look at that for many things we rely on people telling us what's wrong, as in this case (btw: please consider joining us :-). > Does the project use pbuilder on Wheezy occassionally but not > always? Holger and Mattia (root @ jenkins) can check this.
