+[[!meta title="Reprotest repository exists and installs"]]
+
+I had family obligations for most of the past week, so I haven't had a
+chance to do more than get started on reprotest.  The
+[repository](https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/reprotest.git/)
+now contains a version of reprotest that can be installed with
+pip/setuptools (run `python setup.py install` in the repository
+directory or `pip reprotest/` from its parent directory) or with
+debhelper (run `debuild -b -uc -us` in the repository, then install
+the resulting .deb).  I've tested this works by installing into a
+virtualenv and onto my own system, but if anyone else wants to verify
+this, that would be great.  At the moment, reprotest doesn't *do*
+anything, mind.
+
+I ended up importing significant amounts of code from autopkgtest into
+reprotest.  While I may change my opinion as I read the code further,
+my first analysis is that much of the code responsible for processing
+command line arguments and config files (in lib/ and runner/) and
+building and communicating with the environments/virtual servers (in
+runner/, tools/, and virt-subproc/) can be adapted for reprotest.
+Once I have the chance to begin implementing functionality, I intend
+to discuss this in more detail.
