Homebrew Project leader here.
Homebrew tries fairly hard already to make builds reproducible. Unfortunately, no one has been dedicated enough build infrastructure to make sure this does regress so we end up with issues like https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/16012 https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/16012
To be clear, though, some Homebrew packages are already fully reproducible across OSs, some on the same OS and we welcome any help in improving this further. Thanks for raising the issue.
- hardwaresofton 3y agoThanks for the often thankless work you do! I just want to be clear, this wasn’t something that I thought was wrong with homebrew, it was more about the ecosystem embracing reproducibility so it’s easier for you all and similar projects, overall! I personally think that approaches like nix/guix ask for the forest when they only need the tree — I often only care if the software I built is reproducible, and I don’t think that always requires the entire package store/OS to be.
