I'm starting to work on a project to make Fedora fully
reproducible and bootstrappable from scratch.
I know it is a long term plan and still working on the steps, but it would be good to
know the current status, if there is an internal interest in this, if someone is already
working (or planning to).
I recently blogged[1] about packaging over IPFS
I believe this provides some interesting opportunities for reproducible
builds. In particular, when somebody publishes a spec file in IPFS,
many build servers around the world could simultaneously pick up the
spec file and attempt to build it in parallel.
After making their builds, each independent server could then check it
against any binary RPM that already exists in IPFS and decide if it
matches or not.
The mechanism these servers use to communicate about build results is
currently vaporware.
