### [*LWN: The history, status, and plans for reproducible builds*](https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/985739/19ce503ee4e83da9/)

The free software newspaper of record, [*Linux Weekly News*](https://lwn.net/), published an in-depth article based on Holger Levsen's talk, [*Reproducible Builds: The First Eleven Years*](https://debconf24.debconf.org/talks/18-reproducible-builds-the-first-eleven-years/) which was presented at the recent [DebConf24](https://debconf24.debconf.org/) conference in Busan, South Korea.
-Titled [***The history, status, and plans for reproducible builds***](https://lwn.net/Articles/985739/) and written by Jake Edge, LWN's article not only summarises Holger's talk and clarifies its message but it links to external information as well. Holger's original talk can [also be watched on the DebConf24 webpage](https://debconf24.debconf.org/talks/18-reproducible-builds-the-first-eleven-years/). There are also a significant number of comments on LWN's page as well.

+Holger Levsen also headed a scheduled discussion session at DebConf24 on [***Preserving \*other\* build artifacts***](https://debconf24.debconf.org/talks/17-preserving-other-build-artifacts/) addressing a topic where a number of Debian packages are (or would like to) produce results that are [neither the `.deb` files, the build logs nor the logs of CI tests](https://wiki.debian.org/BuildArtifacts). This is an issue for reproducible builds as this "4th type" of build artifact are typically shipped within the binary `.deb` packages, and are invariably non-deterministic; thus making the `.deb` files unreproducible. (A [direct `.webm` link](https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2024/DebConf24/debconf24-304-preserving-other-build-artifacts.av1.webm) and [HTML slides](https://reproducible-builds.org/_lfs/presentations/2024-08-02-preserving-other-build-artifacts/) are available).
