You're seeking completely perfect solutions in a time of crisis where a "good enough" solution might save a lot of lives. Cut them some slack for trying to stem the harm of the pandemic. This situation affects every human.
- rstuart4133 7y agoYou seem to be implying a reproducible build is difficult. It can be, if someone hasn't done it before. But in this case fdroid has done it before, and publishes how to do it.
- barbs 7y agoIs there a way to implement reproducible builds for apps released on Google Play? Because that's where the vast majority of people will be downloading the app from. Also, I don't think there's any such solution for iOS.
- justinclift 7y agoReproducible builds are not a "perfect" solution. They, and the source code to build them, is the baseline requirement for any trust in what is being provided to people. --- The Australian government has a history of extreme incompetence with IT projects, using PR to try and effect adoption, then bullshitting about their failures. If there's evidence this project is going to be any different, then great. :) In the meantime, I'm judging them based on their historical actions.
