Hi,

as I wrote in #29135, we should upstream the patches we
gather for reproducibility. Share with upstream what is
applicable to more software than just Guix included
definitions of the software etc.
Attached to it: the usual conversation, outreach,
public relations, discussions thing.

We have no list for this so far, so we should first
look into the patch-file patches (the obvious ones,
in gnu/packages/patches/), and after that into some
maybe not so obvious fixes we keep in the definitions
themselves (via substitute etc).
So we need a list, and then motivated people can work
on this. Even if people is just a couple. It helps.

We need to share this, to avoid duplicate work elsewhere.

What about the reproducible builds list?

General discussions about reproducible builds <rb-general@lists.reproducible-builds.org>

At the reproducible-builds summit last week in Berlin some work has been
done on the topic of upstreaming patches. I think some effort has gone
(is going?) into a email template that starts by explaining what
reproducible-builds is, why it is important and why upstream should
consider taking the patch.

Greetings,
janneke

Well, list as in a list that lists our patches, not a mailinglist ;)

Indeed. There’s also the issue database initiated by Debian, which we
can contribute to and borrow from:


Since this is not a bug, please follow-up to guix-devel.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
