--- layout: blog week: 117 published: 2017-07-25 17:07:00 --- Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday July 16 and Saturday July 22 2017: Toolchain development --------------------- Bernhard M. Wiedemann [wrote a tool](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2017-July/000571.html) to automatically run through different sources of non-determinism, and report which of these caused unreproducibility. Dan Kegel's patches to fpm were [merged](https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/commit/14c4819e41c55072830da2cc37e4b1442b178e57). Bugs filed ---------- Patches submitted upstream: * Bernhard M.

Reviews of unreproducible packages ---------------------------------- 73 package reviews have been added, 44 have been updated and 50 have been removed in this week, adding to our knowledge about [identified issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html). No issue types were updated. Weekly QA work -------------- During our reproducibility testing, FTBFS bugs have been detected and reported by: - Adrian Bunk (106) - Daniel Stender (1) - Drew Parsons (1) - Félix Sipma (1) - Lucas Nussbaum (25) diffoscope development ---------------------- - Juliana Rodrigues: - Add new XML comparator. (Closes: [#866120](https://bugs.debian.org/866120)) - Guangyuan Yang: - Fix 2 cases in `test_device` on FreeBSD - Chris Lamb: - comparators.xml: Fix EPUB "missing file" tests; they ship a `META-INF/container.xml` file. - comparators.sqlite: Simplify file detection in `Sqlite3Database.RE_FILE_TYPE` - Style and attribution fixes to XML comparator and comparators.directory - Ximin Luo: - main, logging: restore old logger settings to avoid pytest vomiting in certain situations - comparators/directory: Fix [#868534](https://bugs.debian.org/868534) by expecting less strict test output reprotest development --------------------- - Ximin Luo: - Use autopkgtest upstream paths, makes things easier to import - Add script for importing autopkgtest code, and import autopkgtest 4.4 Ximin also restarted the discussion with [autopkgtest-devel](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2017-July/000584.html) about code reuse for reprotest. Santiago Torres began a [series of patches](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2017-July/000579.html) to make reprotest more distro-agnostic, with the aim of making it usable on Arch Linux. Ximin reviewed these patches. Misc. ----- This week's edition was written by Ximin Luo, Bernhard M. Wiedemann and Chris Lamb & reviewed by a bunch of Reproducible Builds folks on IRC & the mailing lists.
