bits from the release team

@uecker They weren't already?
@ThePolishDispatch @uecker Not exactly an AUR level of 'peer reviewed' control checks.
@uecker can they fix the bugs in infrastructure like cmake(!!) and dpkg(!!!) that cause ordinary pckages’ unteproducibility first, please?
@mirabilos I don't know, what bugs are those? 97% of all packages are reproducible already: https://reproduce.debian.net/
reproduce.debian.net

@uecker 97% of 40'000… not a good number
@uecker That's great news although it certainly has been a long while. Fedora needs to do this ASAP. Arch too.
