Binary Distribution Rebuilds
(josefsson.org)
I rebuilt (the top-50 popcon) Debian and Ubuntu packages, on amd and arm64, and compared the results a couple of months ago. Since then the Reproduce.Debian.net effort has been launched. Unlike my small experiment, that effort is a full-scale rebuild with more architectures. Their goal is to reproduce what is published in the Debian archive.

Show HN: Localscope–Limit scope of Python functions for reproducible execution
(readthedocs.io)
Have you ever hunted bugs caused by accidentally using a global variable in a function in a Jupyter notebook? Have you ever scratched your head because your code broke after restarting the Python kernel? localscope can help by restricting the variables a function can access.

Stagex – Container-native, full-source bootstrapped, and reproducible toolchain

Is NixOS truly reproducible?
(luj.fr)
Build reproducibility is often considered as a de facto feature provided by functional package managers like Nix. Although the functional package manager model has important assets in the quest for build reproducibility (like reproducibility of build environments for example1), it is clear among practitioners that Nix does not guarantee that all its builds achieve bitwise reproducibility. In fact, it is not complicated to write a Nix package that builds an artifact non-deterministically:

Zig Reproduced Without Binaries
(jakstys.lt)
I decided to bootstrap Zig without using binaries that are checked in the repository and answer if the resulting zig1.wasm in the latest Zig release (0.13.0) is the same the one bootstrapped without using those binaries.

Package reproducibility in Python notebooks using uv isolated environments
(marimo.io)
One of marimo’s goals is to make notebooks reproducible, down to the packages used in them. To that end, it’s now possible to create marimo notebooks that have their package requirements serialized into them as a top-level comment.
