[$] Fedora change aims for 99% package reproducibility
The effort to ensure that open-source software is reproducible has beengathering steam over the years, and gaining traction with major Linuxdistributions. Debian, for example, has been working toward reproduciblebuilds for more than a decade; it can nowproduce officiallive CDs of the current stable release that are reproducible. Fedora started on the path much later, but it hasprogressed far enough that the project is now considering a changeproposal for the Fedora43 development cycle, expected to bereleased in October, with a goal ofmaking 99% of Fedora's package builds reproducible. So far, reactionto the proposal seems favorable and focused primarily on how toachieve the goal-with minimal pain for packagers-rather than whether to attempt it.
