Message   LWN.net    All   Debian to require reproducible builds   May 12, 2026
 6:40 AM *   

Paul Gevers has slipped an interesting bit of news into a "bits from the release
team" message:

Aided by the efforts of the Reproducible Builds project, 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 or
	existing packages (in testing) that regress in reproducibility.

As Gioele Barabucci pointed
out, "reproducible" in this sense is limited to building within an
instance of Debian's build environment, which is a tighter requirement than
is normally used.  It is still a big step forward for reproducible builds.
