 Documentation update
 --------------------
 
 Toolchain fixes
 ---------------
 
+- [[!pkg texlive-bin]]/2016.20160513.41080-3 has been uploaded to unstable,
+  featuring support for `FORCE_SOURCE_DATE`.  See the [[last post|posts/59#FORCE_SOURCE_DATE]]
+  for details on it.  With this upload we decided to stop keeping our patched
+  fork of `texlive-bin` as most of the patches for `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support had
+  been integrated already, and the last one (making `FORCE_SOURCE_DATE` default
+  to `1`) had been refused.  So, we are now going to let the archive be rebuilt
+  against unstable's `texlive-bin` and see how many packages will become
+  unreproducible with this change; once enough data will be collected we will
+  ponder whether `FORCE_SOURCE_DATE` should be exported by helper tools (such as
+  debhelper) or manually exported by every package that needs it.
+- [[!pkg doxygen]]/1.4.4-1 has been uploaded to unstable, fixing [[!bug 822197]]
+  ([upstream bug](https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/2534)), which caused
+  some generated html file to contain unreproducible memory addresses of Python
+  objects used at build time.
+
+With the drop of `texlive-bin` now we have only **3** modified packages in our
+[experimental repository](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_repositories.html).

+- HW42 [reported in our ML](https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20160613/005789.html)
+  a long-known (only internally) bug in our dpkg-buildinfo.  This particular bug
+  doesn't affect our current infrastructure, but it's a blocker for having it
+  upstreamed.
+- Holger thought again on how to store package notes in a multi-distribution
+  friendly manner, so that we can share notes between reproducible efforts across
+  linux (e non-linux!) distributions.  This is going to improve what [we already
+  thought of](https://reproducible-builds.org/events/athens2015/issue-database/)
+  during the Athens meeting last December.
+
 This week's edition was written by… and reviewed by a bunch of Reproducible builds folks on IRC.
