I would like to take the opportunity to raise the following concern. I support the reproducible builds effort but I think the periodic e-mails to pkg-java are often not useful enough at the moment. There are far too many false-positives. The list should be reserved for discussing bug reports and due the flood of reproducible e-mails it happens that one can miss a bug report. The reports would be most useful if they included only confirmed FTBFS in testing. I know detecting FTBFS is only a by-product of the reproducible build effort but those bugs are the most interesting ones for us. All other issues are plainly visible thanks to DDPO and the corresponding QA pages like https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-java-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org There is even a column for CI/Rep. Thanks Markus
