<div> Hello<br><br>> This is, unfortunately, a little misleading. To clarify, this<br>> statement only means that *tests.reproducible-builds.org* believes<br>> that the fbreader source package is reproducible — it doesn't promise<br>> that the binary packages on the official Debian mirrors are<br>> bit-for-bit identical with anything.<br>> <br>> This is, of course, not ideal. Still, this is what folks on this list<br>> are getting at when they say they "want to make Debian 'really'<br>> reproducible".<br><br>Thank you so much.<br>I understand the explanation, but I think that the "reproducible" label <br>of a package in Debian stable seems to suggest another idea (my <br>original idea, that when recompiling and repackaging a package labeled <br>as reproducible in Debian stable, the result is bit-for-bit identical).<br>I join the request "want to make Debian (stable) 'really' reproducible". :)<br><br>> Regarding precisely why there is a difference, I can't write more at<br>> the moment, but have you tried comparing "your"<br>> fbreader_0.12.10dfsg2-4_amd64.deb with one shipped by Debian using<br>> diffoscope?
