Debian -- Details of package reprotest in sid (original) (raw)

Package: reprotest (0.7.32)

Build software and check it for reproducibility

reprotest builds the same source code twice in different environments, and then checks the binaries produced by each build for differences. If any are found, then diffoscope (or if unavailable then diff) is used to display them in detail for later analysis.

It supports different types of environment such as a "null" environment (i.e. doing the builds directly in /tmp) or various other virtual servers, for example schroot, ssh, qemu, and several others.

reprotest is developed as part of the “reproducible builds” Debian project.
