in last week's email to the reproducible-builds email list1 about reproducible Arch Linux I mentioned there's only one unreproducible package left in docker.io/library/archlinux.

Due to amazing work by dvzrv and Foxboron this package is now also reproducible!

INFO arch_repro_status > All packages are reproducible!

INFO arch_repro_status > Your system is 100.00% reproducible.

To try for yourself use:

podman run --rm -t archlinux sh -c 'pacman -Suy arch-repro-status 
--noconfirm && arch-repro-status'

It also helps a bit with debugging because it reduces discrepancies by ensuring that the output of a build is consistently the same when compiled from the same source code and tools, regardless of the machine or environment.
