Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Towards a Reproducible F-Droid
Arch Linux is heavily invested into it:
- https://reproducible.archlinux.org/ - Attempts to reproduce the distributed binary packages from source using reproducible builds tooling. This already works for a big chunk of packages.
- https://github.com/archlinux/archlinux-repro - This is a wrapper for Arch Linux build tooling that creates a build environment in a container that has the same packages installed as the original build environment back then. Software is expected to build reproducible in this environment and many ecosystems already do by default (Rust for example, to name one).
- https://github.com/kpcyrd/rebuilderd - This monitors the packages in Arch Linux, runs archlinux-repro on all of them and hosts the results. There are other projects supported but Arch Linux works best at the moment, and archlinux-repro offers the best integration I'm currently aware of.
There are surprisingly few people interested in running this stack on their own for verification purpose though.

Paranoia About Everything
Independent rebuilders can mitigate this to some degree, unless you can compromise all of them in some way. Some are listed on https://rebuilderd.com/, this is based on reproducible builds and only works for reproducible packages/software though.

Debian's rebuilds going up in Purdue's rebuilderd instance!
As many of you may know, one of Debian's most pressing issues for a long time has been working towards bit-for-bit reproducibility of its binary packages. Part of this initiative led to the Reproducible Builds project, in which other projects have joined with the goal of having reproducible builds of their instances. Until now, Debian's reproducibility was theoretical, as there was no proper rebuilding tool to verify its binary package reproducibility empirically. Recently, Arch Linux (and specifically one of its Trusted Users, who goes by 'kpcyrd' online, who in addition maintains packages for Debian and Alpine) produced an independent tool for verifying the reproducibility of binary packages called rebuilderd and has had its own instance running for quite some time. Apparently, collaboration between Arch Linux and Debian (and probably many other programmers and projects) lead to Debian's own instance of rebuilderd hosted by the Purdue University. You can see at Debian's reproducibility progress at:
- rebuilderd 0.9.0: reproducible builds verification system used by Arch Linux
- rebuilderd 0.9.0 has been released

Reproducible Builds in February 2022
Yes, many times.
Arch reproduces all published packages and reproducing a package as a user is as simple as running `repro pkgname.pkg.tar.gz`.

https://github.com/archlinux/archlinux-repro
Do note we have multiple rebuilders. The tooling is written so you should be able to reproduce Arch packages on any distribution, but we still struggle with packages embedding "uname" into the binaries still.
