Central repository to share reproducible builds related patches across distributions

[Robin Candau]

Hi everyone,

During this year's Reproducible Builds summit, we explored the idea of a 
central place for distributions to share reproducible builds patches.

During said discussion, Bernhard M. Wiedemann (in Cc) remembered that he 
already created a repository [1] for that purpose about 10 years ago, 
which we decided to bring back to life!

The repository structure is pretty simple, we have one directory per 
package containing patches as well as eventual documentation, in the 
form of a README, if relevant (e.g. to document upstreaming efforts or 
any meaningful information).

Bernhard added most Reproducible Builds related patches from OpenSUSE to 
the repo.
I did the same with some Arch Linux patches, and I shared this 
repository to the Arch staff today to hopefully onboard more people to 
push patches there.

As said at the beginning of this mail, we hope that this repository 
could serve as a central place for people from various project to share, 
document and fetch patches (rather than storing and maintaining them on 
our own respective side). This would facilitate progress regarding our 
common goal of getting reproducible builds for our respective packages.

If anyone wants push access to this repository, please feel free to 
contact Bernhard or myself (and I'll relay your request to Bernhard with 
the other access requests from the Arch Linux side).

Thanks! :)
