openSUSE Spin Achieves 100% Bit-Identical Packages For Reproducible Builds


There is an openSUSE project called Reproducible-openSUSE 'RBOS' working on a proof-of-concept for constructing openSUSE in a bit-identical manner as part of the broad Reproducible Builds effort to be able to reproduce builds bit-for-bit against what is being compiled by the distribution vendor or other software distribution

With openSUSE's RBOS they are now demonstrating working bit-for-bit package rebuilds as part of ensuring a solid software supply chain. The patches will eventually work their way into the openSUSE Factory channel and in turn make it into openSUSE/SUSE releases in the coming years. About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
