+[[!meta title="Reproducible Builds: week 73 in Stretch cycle"]]
+
+What happened in the [Reproducible
+Builds](https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds) effort between Sunday
+September 11 and Saturday September 17 2016:
+
+
+GSoC and Outreachy updates
+--------------------------
+
+FIXME
+
+
+Reproducible work in other projects
+-----------------------------------
+
+FIXME
+
+
+Toolchain developments
+----------------------
+
+Ximin Luo started a new series of tools called (for now)
+[debrepatch](https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/debrepatch.git/), the
+purpose being to make it easy to check that our old patches for reproducibility
+still apply to newer versions of those packages - and make them reproducible.
+
+Ximin Luo updated one of our few remaining patches for dpkg in [[!bug 787980]]
+to make it cleaner and more minimal.
+
+The following tools were fixed to output reproducible output:
+
+ * [[!pkg naturaldocs]]/1.51-2
+
+
+Packages reviewed and fixed, and bugs filed
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The following updated packages have become reproducible - in our current test
+setup - after being fixed:
+
+ * [[!pkg elog]]/3.1.2-1-1
+ * [[!pkg eyed3]]/0.6.18-3
+ * [[!pkg frog]]/0.13.5-1
+ * [[!pkg gtranslator]]/2.91.7-3
+ * [[!pkg sozi]]/12.05-1.1
+
+The following updated packages appear to be reproducible now, for reasons we
+were not able to figure out. (Relevant changelogs did not mention reproducible
+builds.)
+
+ * [[!pkg evince]]/3.21.92-1
+ * [[!pkg gnome-control-center]]/1:3.21.92-2
+ * [[!pkg libipathverbs]]/1.3-2
+ * [[!pkg pagekite]]/0.5.8e-2
+
+The following 3 packages were not changed, but have become reproducible due to
+changes in their build-dependencies: [[!pkg jaxrs-api]] [[!pkg python-lua]]
+[[!pkg zope-mysqlda]].
+
+Some uploads have addressed some reproducibility issues, but not all of them:
+
+ * [[!pkg eurephia]]/1.1.0-6
+ * [[!pkg fdroidserver]]/0.7.0-1
+ * [[!pkg mini-buildd]]/1.0.18
+ * [[!pkg nbc]]/1.2.1.r4+dfsg-3
+ * [[!pkg ncurses]]/6.0+20160910-1
+ * [[!pkg python-kinterbasdb]]/3.3.0-4
+ * [[!pkg snapper]]/1.0.18
+
+Patches submitted that have not made their way to the archive yet:
+
+ * [[!bug 838188]] filed against [[!pkg ocaml]] by Johannes Schauer.
+
+
+Reviews of unreproducible packages
+----------------------------------
+
+462 package reviews have been added, 524 have been updated and 166 have been removed in this week,
+adding to our knowledge about [identified issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html).
+
+25 issue types have been updated:
+
+- Added a new annotation for issues called "fix-deterministic" to help us
+  update package reviews more easily. This indicates whether we expect that an
+  issue would always happen on Jenkins; i.e. if there is a successful build,
+  then we know the issue is fixed for that package and can update our notes.
+- Added [[!issue random_order_in_sisu_javax_inject_named]] and
+  [[!issue too_much_input_for_diff]].
+- Removed [[!issue timestamps_in_manpages_generated_by_ronn]].
+- Updated [[!issue timestamps_in_allegro_dat_files]]. Additionally, 21 issues
+  were marked with "fix-deterministic".
+
+
+Weekly QA work

+
