Arch Linux minimal container userland 100% reproducible - now what?

[Chris Lamb]

Hey kpcyrd,

Super excited about the energy in this thread. :)

I'll probably reply to a different part of the conversation
tomorrow, but just to very quickly append something to this bit:

I think h01ger already talked to you a bit on IRC, but the long and
short of it is that, well, reproducible-builds.org wishes it had those
kind of resources to dedicate towards building such a service! Yes, we
did manage to secure some funding recently, and no doubt some of that
will help kickstart an analogous snapshot service. But the amount,
timeframe and associated deliverables don't quite, alas, match your
summary. Still, the important thing here is that your passion is
infectious. :)


Best wishes,
