To be fair:

> 56 (100.0%) out of 56 built NetBSD files were reproducible

That is not really comparable to debian's 26475/28522 for buster https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/reproducible.ht...


But is it "reproducible" or reproducible? Holger still considers the debian numbers "reproducible" as we are only building things twice. To achieve proper reproducible builds the artifacts needs to be reproducible by users. User facing tools needs to be provided and I have yet to see how NetBSD provides this.


As far as I understand your pages that applies only to the kernel, not the whole distribution. The Linux kernel is reproducible as well: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/archlinux/archlinux.ht...
