Some things just take a long time to run diffoscope, and tests.reproducible-builds.org only lets diffoscope run for 150m and then kills it to avoid very large unreproducible packages from eating all the resources. Options would be to run diffoscope on two builds of halide locally. The tool reprotest does this and runs diffoscope by default if it is installed. There is also beta.tests.reproducible-builds.org which may not have a diffoscope timeout, so you might be able to find diffoscope output for halide there. There may be improvements that could make diffoscope run faster and avoid the timeout, though I'm not sure this is a fundamental problem of diffoscope. I'll see if I can find you some diffoscope output for halide by running it on a fairly powerful machine I have access to... live well, vagrant
