If it is reproducible I assume bit by bit the same from the same sources. Build date then seems irrelevant as you only need to date/version source. Also I think a metadata file could be put aside as an optional thing.
- bayindirh 4y agoCompilers embed a lot of metadata (incl. but not limited to build date) into the binaries which changes the final artifact checksum in every compilation. Removing this information what makes reproducible builds reproducible. If you want bit-by-bit reproduction, you can't have that metadata inside your final artifact.
