Reproducible builds are a set of software development + practices which create a verifiable path from human readable + source code to the binary code used by computers. A build is + reproducible if given the same source code, build environment + and build instructions, any party can recreate bit-by-bit + identical copies of all specified artifacts.

+ +

Baptiste Daroussin and Ed Maste attended the second + Reproducible Builds Summit last December, in Berin. We + discussed issues of common interest to operating system + providers, including other BSDs and Linux distributions.

+ +

Following the summit, changes were committed to the &os; + base system to address outstanding sources of + non-reproducibility. It is now possible to build the &os; + base system (kernel and userland) completely reproducibly, + although it currently requires a few non-default settings.

+ +

Approximately 80% of the ports tree builds reproducibly, + with a few work in progress patches. Now that the base system + can be built reproducibly, focus will move to the ports + tree.

+ + + The &os; Foundation + + The Linux Foundation + + + Integrate &os; ports builds into the + reprodcible-builds.org continuous integration + infrastructure. + + Integrate reproducible build patches into the ports + tree. + + Investigate sources of non-reproducibility in individual + ports. + +
