Reproducible Builds: The First Eleven Years

Track: Introduction to Free Software & Debian

Type: Long talk (45 minutes)

Room: Bada

Time: Jul 29 (Mon): 11:00

Duration: 0:40

In this talk Holger “h01ger” Levsen will give an overview about Reproducible Builds: How it started with a small BoF at DebConf13 (and before), then grew from being a Debian effort to something many projects work on together, until in 2021 it was mentioned in an executive order of the president of the United States. And of course, the talk will not end there, but rather outline where we are today and where we still need to be going, until Debian stable (and other distros!) will be 100% reproducible, verified by many.

h01ger has been involved in reproducible builds since 2014 and so far has set up automated reproducibility testing for Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and coreboot.
