Arch Linux is currently in the process of having it 100% reproducible, for the exact definition of reproducible builds and it's benefits take a look at the project website.

Arch users can help contribute to Reproducible Build issues by looking at the continuous reproducing environment. There are various issues which can be sorted out:

• FTBS (failed to build from source): reproduce the build failure locally and create a bug report if the package cannot be built from a clean chroot (extra-x86_64-build or multilib-build).
• Failed to download sources, reproduce the issue (makepkg -o -d) and create a bug report on the Arch bugtracker.
• Failed to reproduce. Locally you can reproduce packages using reprotest. Note that not all variations can be used. For simple time related testing:

 reprotest --variations '+time' 'sudo extra-x86_64-build' '*.pkg.tar.xz' 

There might be various reasons for a package to not be reproducible, but before digging in take a look at the upstream repository or the reproducible status in Debian

• Failed to run tests, these failures are heavily on the testing env. Most likely due to to LANG=C being set and Arch not supporting LANG=C.UTF-8

If you are interested in the code which runs the continuous reproducing environment, the first build code starts here on salsa

Arch の再現可能ビルドのアップデート 09-12-2018

Posted to the rb-general mailing list.

10-01-2018 のミーティングのアジェンダ

• UTF-8 failures with Python.

  There are a lot of reproducible build issues due to the lack of LANG=$lang-UTF-8. Do we need to explicitly set the LANG in the PKGBUILD

  See for example https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/archlinux/community/python-cssselect2/build1.log

• Package disorderfs

  Not high important right now, I have added it on my todolist. This could be used later in combination with the reproducible build script

• Pacman release

  How do we convince the Pacman team to create a new release, are there any known blockers they waiting on?

• Reproducible build script progress

  Discuss what the script exactly should do, create an RFC? To describe it's functionality.

  FIXME: add issues I encountered.

• Arch Linux Archive: Do not remove packages mentioned in BUILDINFO file

  There is currently no script to remove old packages from the archive, it is not sure how long we want to keep old packges

  Sangy was working on this if I recall correctly, what is the status? poc script

• Write documentation what this script should do. (Specification)

• Killed builds

  Someone should investigate this, how do we reproduce this locally? Hints?

• SSL verification issues

  How do we circumvent SSL issues from reproducing a package locally which was build earlier, when the SSL certificate was valid. HG and SVN are still left to be fixed.

• Create a public to-do list

  We should get more people in to work on reproducible builds, how can we guide them and where do we keep track of the progress made and issues which require attention.

The meeting minute can be seen here^{[リンク切れ 2018-11-04]}.
