Arch Linux now has a reproducible container image

Robin Candau has announcedthe availability of a bit-for-bit reproducible container image forArch Linux:

The bit-for-bit reproducibility of the image is confirmed by digestequality across builds (podman inspect --format '{{.Digest}}'<image>) and by running diffocito compare builds. We provide documentation on how to reproduce thisDocker image (as we did for the WSL image as well).

Building the base rootFS for the Docker image in a deterministic way was the main challenge, but it reuses the same process as for our WSL image(as both share the same rootFS build system).

[...] This represents another meaningful achievement in our"reproducible builds" efforts and we're already looking forward to thenext step!
