Package: qa.debian.org Severity: wishlist User: qa.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: pts X-Debbugs-CC: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Some folks are working on reproducible builds[1] for Debian. Currently they are working through all the issues and filing bugs[2]. I was thinking it might scale better if all Debian maintainers were made aware when their package is not reproducibly buildable. One way to do that is to add TODO items to the PTS so that maintainers can see before they upload if there are things they could do to make their package buildable reproducibly. The PTS could also link to a common issues page on the wiki where people can document issues they find and the solutions. I am willing to do the PTS side of this but I need a machine-readable index of packages that are not reproducibly buildable and a way to link to further information for each package and further general information on the wiki or elsewhere. The index format can be JSON, YAML or just plain text with one package per line plus a URL pattern for linking. 1. https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds 2. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?usertag=reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
