Description:
Robin Candau has announced the availability of a bit-for-bit reproducible container image for
Arch Linux: The bit-for-bit reproducibility of the image is confirmed by digest
equality across builds ( podman inspect --format '{{.Digest}}'
<image> ) and by running diffoci to compare builds. We provide documentation on how to reproduce this
Docker image (as we did for the WSL image as well ). Building the base rootFS for the Docker image in a deterministic way was
the main challenge, but it reuses the same process as for our WSL image (as both share the same rootFS build system). [...] This represents another meaningful achievement in our
"reproducible builds" efforts and we're already looking forward to the
next step!
