Amazing work. Thanks so much to everyone who's contributing. The upstream bugs filed are especially appreciated since they make the whole Linux ecosystem more solid, not just Debian.
In some cases, a very long while. I brought up the question of build reproducibility at BSDCon 2003 because it was relevant to FreeBSD Update, and a lot of my early FreeBSD commits were working on this.
Yeah; I've seen both work and developer mindset about this for a long time in bsd-centric mailing-lists. I tried to keep it short here though, seeing how the debian developers have done a great job and didn't want to shift that focus [in this thread].
I think its great that we have come to a point where packagers shift mindset from "it works" to "we can reproduce the results" in more than one package manager.
