Verifying packages with Debian's ReproducibleBuilds
Identical Build
Conclusions
Thus far Debian's ReproducibleBuilds project is a success story: As of February 13, 2015, reproducible builds worked for 83.5 percent of all packages (Figure 2) [20]. The new build type will probably also be a release target for Debian 9 – all designed to make Debian that little bit more secure.
