-* Chris Lamb performed a [Non Maintainer Upload](https://wiki.debian.org/NonMaintainerUpload) to Debian of the [GNU mtools](https://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/) package in order to address two reproducibility-related bugs ([#900409](https://bugs.debian.org/900409) & [#900410](https://bugs.debian.org/900410)) that were blocking the inclusion of [his previous merge request to the Debian Installer](https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/merge_requests/3) to make the installation images (ISO, hd-media, netboot, etc,) bit-for-bit reproducible.

-* We are continuing to see "fallout" from the default GCC version in Debian unstable changing from GCC 7 to GCC 8. As outlined in our previous post, as we have not updated our build path patches for this newer version it is resulting in a large number of packages becoming unreproducible in our testing framework. Holger has now temporarily disabled scheduling of packages in unstable and experimental until we have a solution or workaround for this.

-* Holger also added 26GB to the partition used for Debian reproducible tests on jenkins.debian.net so that there is enough free space. This is to cope with the increased size needs due to unreproduciblities introduced due to GCC-8. This fixed a number of Jenkins jobs that were constantly failing in the last days.
