As I said, I would like to check that my package build is reproducible before
I upload it, not after, so I can be sure that any bug is fixed in the
upload.
Some of my package were listed as reproducible for several months and
then became unreproducible without any new upload. I do not mind that.
However from a policy point of view, reproducible need to be defined
precisely. Generally speaking, reproducible means that the build will
not change if some (but not all) parameters are changed. What parameters
are allowed to change need to be defined.
One way is specify that would be to provide an authoritative tool to
validate packages.
Cheers,
PS: I thanks you for your advices, I will reply to you privately if I
need to.
