-* [FIXME](https://bugs.debian.org/906030)
+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday August 12 and Saturday August 18 2018:
 
+* [Christoph Berg](https://www.df7cb.de/) merged [support for reproducible builds](https://github.com/postgis/postgis/commit/873c6cba3e7f7e87b615b25c50d9c8dcede661ec) in the [PostGIS](https://postgis.net/) "spatial database extender" for the [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database server.
 
-Toolchain patches:
-* A [patch to llvm](https://reviews.llvm.org/D50559) was merged that addresses [an ordering issue in objective-C binaries](https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35277). It now sorts a hash that varied from ASLR.
+* Arnout Engelen et al., continued an interesting discussion on [our mailing list](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/listinfo/rb-general) on [comparing of the Debian and Arch `.buildinfo` approaches](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2018-August/001105.html).
+
+* Alexis Murzeau updated [diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org) (our in-depth "diff-on-steroids" utility which helps us diagnose reproducibility issues in packages) to [fxx matching for `.deb` archive members](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/commit/8b90ec1) close Debian bug [#903565](https://bugs.debian.org/903565). In addition, Joannis Valasakis [filed an ITP](https://bugs.debian.org/906030) ([Intent To Package](https://wiki.debian.org/ITP)) request in Debian for [fsdiff](https://github.com/kanocomputing/fsdiff) a tool to compare two filesystems which may be useful to incorporate.
+
+* A [patch to was merged](https://reviews.llvm.org/D50559) to the [LLVM](https://llvm.org/) compiler [addressing an ordering issue in Objective-C binaries](https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35277). It now sorts a hash that varied from [Address space layout randomization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout_randomization) (ASLR).
+
+* A long-open bug in [Gconf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GConf) configuration management system for [GNOME](https://www.gnome.org/) was [finally marked as WONTFIX](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784738#c3).
+
+* Two package reviews were added, three were updated and 11 were removed in this week, adding to [our knowledge about identified issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html) in Debian. A new [jekyll\_site\_time\_timestamp](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-notes/commit/402eafa1) toolchain issue was added by Chris Lamb.
