Hello lists,here is the sixth update of the status for reproducible live-build ISO images [1].
New and changed: * Perl sorting issues in dictionaries-common [3][4] have entered bookworm.* libxmlb used a pointer address (%p) for a hash value. Upstream [5] has been fixed, it is not released yet to sid. * texlive-base: Reported differences in the generated ls-R [6], patch is provided. * texlive-base: More sources for non-reproducibility are noted in the Wiki page [1].
* Wiki page updates [1]:** Added information about the required size and requirements for the mount point. ** Restructured the page to place the configuration section more prominently. * For local image building, I've switched to uncompressed HDD images. This saves a lot of time, because the squashfs compression is skipped. ** Several bugfixes related to HDD image building for live-build have landed in the git repo [7]. * Migrated the reproducible hook script from the Wiki page and the copy in Jenkins to the live-build repo [8]
Future plans/ideas: * OpenQA: No progress yet * Recording the configuration used by live-build ** Next step: test some scenarios and write a proposal ** No progress yet* Reprotest might be used instead of just 2 builds without a short time frame, to capture more variations
* Use disorderfs* Long term: When live-build images are working fine, the work could be extended to other images, e.g. the live-wrapper images, the netinst images or perhaps even Docker images
* When it is ready, switch to snapshot.reproducible-builds.org?
