Research paper tests how many Arch Linux packages are reproducible

Not sure why you would need a research paper to figure this out when reproducible.archlinux.org exists…

How does that page help anyone increase their number of published research papers?

89%

Edit: this is usually where you want to look at that question tests.reproducible-builds.org/…/archlinux.html

Why is it not stated which research paper? By whom? It’s just a reproduction of what they do which is good but the guy reporting about it acts like it’s breaking news.

They’ve got problems in their tests though. There are 5 packages in core that are “unreproducible” and one is the kernel. Pretty significant package, except it fails because of a timeout.

Why would linux and linux-lts fail but not inux-zen?

linux-zen does fail, it’s just not in Core, but in Extra.

I see, thanks
