I want to note that this does not require any direct changes (when dpkg in stretch has .buildinfo support). The build path is going to be recorded in the .builinfo anyway and sbuild already has a --build-path option. So this is only relevant as a) internal definition b) how we are going to test packages from the stretch archive. > I do not believe we would have enough resources to fix the issues that > would arise in time to make the case for a reproducible stretch as it > would, of course, need to be made well before the release date itself. > >> shall we wait til testing/i386 has been built once fully with build >> path variation so we *know* the number I currently guesstimate as 75-80%??

We should, regrettably, define a fixed build path for stretch at this point in the release cycle. I do not believe we would have enough resources to fix the issues that would arise in time to make the case for a reproducible stretch as it would, of course, need to be made well before the release date itself. > shall we wait til testing/i386 has been built once fully with build > path variation so we *know* the number I currently guesstimate as 75-80%?? Whilst I'm curious, knowing the number makes no difference to me; I would recommend the same course of action whether it was "too low" or "fine". This also avoids a subjective debate on which these terms would apply to the number. > shall we enable build path variation for unstable and experimental > for all tested archs now? Yes, please go ahead as this reflects our goals for stretch+1. I vehemently believe our numbers should match our goals as close as reasonably possible.
