- seagreen 9y agoWhoops, good point. Didn't mean to be so Linux-centric.
- cperciva 9y agoIn some cases, a very long while. I brought up the question of build reproducibility at BSDCon 2003 because it was relevant to FreeBSD Update, and a lot of my early FreeBSD commits were working on this.
- jbergstroem 9y agoYeah; I've seen both work and developer mindset about this for a long time in bsd-centric mailing-lists. I tried to keep it short here though, seeing how the debian developers have done a great job and didn't want to shift that focus [in this thread]. I think its great that we have come to a point where packagers shift mindset from "it works" to "we can reproduce the results" in more than one package manager.
