I've added this to the February report and would be happy to receive future updates on this as well as setup some continuous testing! -- cheers, Holger --- holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org PGP fingerprint: B8BF 5413 7B09 D35C F026 FE9D 091A B856 069A AA1C signature.asc Description: PGP signature

As you might guess I have just skimmed over the text but it's really super cool to see reproducible builds used in science! and diffoscope, too! just one thing/question: in the keywords you have "reproducible software" but not "reproducible builds", which is kind of our "marketing term". Do you think you could squeeze that in? -- cheers, Holger, once again wishing he could read more (and more...) signature.asc Description: PGP signature
