## Reproducible Builds

A list of reproducible build meetings.

Reproducible build results

### Agenda Meeting XX-01-2018

- UTF-8 failures with Python.
    There are a lot of reproducible build issues due to the lack of LANG=$lang-UTF-8. Do we need to explicitly set the LANG in the PKGBUILD
    See for example https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/archlinux/community/python-cssselect2/build1.log
- Package disorderfs
    Not high important right now, I've added it on my todolist. This could be used later in combination with the reproducible build script
- Pacman release
    How do we convince the Pacman team to create a new release, are there any known blockers they waiting on?
- Reproducible build script progress
    Discuss what the script exactly should do, create an RFC? To describe it's functionality.
    FIXME: add issues I encountered.
- Arch Linux Archive: don't remove packages mentioned in BUILDINFO file
    There should be a script which checks if packages can be removed from the Archive, since currently it removes packages older then 6 Months?
    Sangy was working on this if I recall correctly, what is the status?
- Killed builds
    Someone should investigate this, how do we reproduce this locally?
- SSL verification issues
    How do we circumvent SSL issues from reproducing a package locally which was build earlier, when the SSL certificate was valid
- Create a public to-do list
    We should get more people in to work on reproducible builds, how can we guide them and where do we keep track of the progress made and issues which require attention.
