  Independent verification of binary packages - reproducible builds

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.
