Comment on Lots of progress for Debian's reproducible builds

Comments

Baserock (http://wiki.baserock.org) may have a repeatable build of OpenEmbedded for automotive systems.

What's the relationship between Baserock and OpenEmbedded? Glancing through OpenEmbedded's wiki page, it seems to a recipe/build system for embedded linux. Baserock seems to be in the same league.

It's a distro/downstream stable version of OE, used in automotive, http://www.genivi.org/. There are several OE "distros", e.g. Angstrom, http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ . There's also Yocto, the overall build system, https://www.yoctoproject.org/

I drank with the Yocto people in 2011. They absolutely live and breathe release engineering. On subjects like repeatable builds, I trust their opinion. At present, they don't appear to mention it at all on their docs or wiki.
