-In the [ArchLinux](https://www.archlinux.org/) distribution, a goal to [remove `.doctrees` from installed files](https://www.archlinux.org/todo/remove-doctrees-from-installed-files-for-reproducible-builds/) was created via Arch's '[TODO list](https://www.archlinux.org/todo/)' mechanism. These files are generated by the [Sphinx documentation generator](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/) when developing documentation so that Sphinx does not have to reparse all input files. They shouldn't be packaged, especially as they lead to the package being unreproducible as their [pickled](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html) format contains unreproducible data.

 Dimitry Andrica was able to determine why the reproducibility status of [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/)'s `base.txz` depended on the number of CPU cores, attributing it to an optimisation made to the [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/) C compiler [[...](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/b4a99a061f517e60985667e39519f60186cbb469)]. After [further detailed discussion on the FreeBSD bug](https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246630#c18) it was possible to get the binaries reproducible again [[...](https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246630#c34)].
