manueljacob | Or does it not check not the debug packages? | 19:34:33 |

Julien | It depends what is in the minimal iso | 19:55:50 |
manueljacob | Sure, it doesn’t make much sense for the minimal-iso-runtime jobset to check reproducibility of anything not included in the minimal ISO, and I assume that debug information is not included in the ISO. I’m not sure it makes sense for minimal-iso-build-closure, but I think it would be useful to have all outputs (including debug information) checked for some packages in some jobset. | 20:35:43 |

implr | Hi, I wrote in #users earlier but it got buried under a different discussion. I have a coreutils build failing tests, but only under nix on Gentoo. On nixos it builds fine. The kernel is of course different, but that shouldn't affect that test as far as I can tell | 08:18:45 |
implr | it's nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).pkgs.coreutils.override { singleBinary = false; }' (with the channel pointing to the same commit, but it doesn't seem to matter anyway, old versions still fail) | 08:18:56 |
implr | curiously, on Gentoo nix-shell <derivation>; genericBuild; checkPhase also passes, so idk how do i even debug this | 08:19:54 |

implr | for posterity, this is an issue with how the gentoo packaging of nix builds its sandbox busybox: https://github.com/trofi/nix-guix-gentoo/blob/master/sys-apps/busybox-nix-sandbox-shell/busybox-nix-sandbox-shell-1.36.1.ebuild#L105 is different from the nixos one | 21:37:26 |

emily | Aided by the efforts of the Reproducible Builds project [1], we've decided it's
time to say that Debian must ship reproducible packages. Since yesterday, we
have enabled our migration software to block migration of new packages that
can't be reproduced [2] or existing packages (in testing) that regress in
reproducibility. | 16:09:03 |
raboof | Something to aspire to! | 17:18:23 |

ethancedwards8 | hmmm | 16:59:17 |
ethancedwards8 | this has me thinking | 16:59:20 |
ethancedwards8 | is there a way to make nixpkgs-review report on if a package is reproducible or not? maybe this is something we want to start looking at in reviews | 17:00:01 |
Pol | Excellent idea :) but that would probably slow down the review. I don't mind actually, it's a great idea. | 17:48:55 |
nim65s | That would basically require building stuff x4 I guess ? | 20:13:06 |
ethancedwards8 | why 4x? | 21:42:59 |
ethancedwards8 | i thought just 2x? | 21:43:05 |
ethancedwards8 | this should probably just be opt-in | 21:43:20 |
ethancedwards8 | i'll think about this and try to work on it this weekend (7 hours flight ahead of me :( ) | 21:43:47 |
