Hi, I applaud this initiative. On 13-02-15 18:28, Reproducible builds folks wrote: > If you want to help, a first step is to check the reproducibility of > your packages [DDLIST].

It would help me if you would have mentioned here what you expect people to do when their package is not reproducible, but when this is the result of other packages that they use during building. I am not going to fix my packages if e.g. the timestamp in the documentation is inserted by the use of formatXtoFormatY, we should then rather focus on fixing formatXtoFormatY. I believe you agree. If people all start fixing such issues inside their own package than in some time we have all kind of solutions, which may (or may not) bit-rot and may not be needed if we fix formatXtoFormatY. I remember that I implemented something along these lines to allow multiarch libraries where there was also some documentation that wasn't worth splitting off. I would be glad if I remember that when the formatXtoFormatY in question is fixed. Paul
