As the reproducable is gaining seriuos tracktion, perhaps it would be an idea to allow how-can-i-help to notify about installed packages that are not reproducable, and suggest to help out making the packages reproducable? I'm not quite sure what kind of data source is available to know if a package is reproducable or not, but perhaps something from <URL: https://reproducible.debian.net/reproducible.html > can be used?
Hi, https://reproducible.debian.net/reproducible.json should have all the info that's needed. That said, I'm not sure reproducibility status of installed packages should be displayed by default *now* (already). It might be wiser to wait a bit before making this the default... (because hardly actionable output quickly becomes ignored noise.) *That* said, I totally welcome this feature request! :-) cheers, Holhger
That link still works, though is there a better one now? Perhaps one that only targets the current testing release (e.g. the one used by udd.debian.org, maybe)? It has come a ong way since 2015, hovering around 94% for testing and 83% for unstable on amd64, so perhaps time to reconsider? :) Likewise! live well, vagrant
