It is hoped that you are doing well. You might recall that we corresponded in the past about my research project on detecting build unreproducibility using commit code features in Debian.</div>

<li>Do you feel that Build Unreproducibility issues can be captured using Just-In-Time Defect Prediction metrics (such as the amount of code change introduced or the dispersion of changes across different modules)? Basically, do you find that certain types
of commits (such as widespread ones) are more problematic for build reproducibility?</li><li>Do you feel there is potential for detecting build unreproducibility statically (without executing adversarial rebuilds)?</li><li>What advice/training are developers given to ensure that they don't induce a build unreproducibility issue?</li></ol>
