+Weekly QA work
+--------------
+
+During our reproducibility testing, some FTBFS bugs have been detected and
+reported by:
+
+ - Chris Lamb (9)
+ - Helmut Grohne (1)
+ - Peter De Wachter (1)
+
+
+strip-nondeterminism development
+--------------------------------
+
+[[!bug 845203]] was [fixed in
+git](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?id=7124c6b)
+by Reiner Herrmann - the next release will be able to normalize NTFS timestamps
+in zip files.
+
+
+debrepatch development
+----------------------
+
+Ximin Luo added much more documentation for
+[debpatch](https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/debrepatch.git/tree/debpatch)
+and filed [[!bug 845659]] to include it in
+[devscripts](https://packages.debian.org/sid/devscripts).

+-----------------------
 
 Debian: 
-	- schedule testing as often as unstable on all archs, now that the freeze gets closer, so that testing's build results are fresher. (h01ger)
-	- adjust experimental scheduling frequency to oldest results in unstable. (h01ger)
-	- only use our (currently empty) experimental repo for unstable and experimental but not for the testing suite. (h01ger)
 
-strip-nondeterminism:
-	- #845203 (fixed in git by 7124c6bf45 by deki)
-	- fix jenkins job to build strip-nondeterminism from git master branch (and remove job which build from other branches as we have none). (h01ger)
+Since the [stretch freeze](https://release.debian.org/#release-dates) is
+getting closer, Holger Levsen made the following changes:
+
+ * Schedule testing builds to be as equally-frequent as unstable, on all archs,
+   so that testing's build results are more up-to-date.
+
+ * Schedule experimental builds' frequency to be the same as the oldest results
+   in unstable. This roughly means that we build everything in unstable first,
+   before trying to build experimental packages.
+
+ * Disable our (currently-empty) experimental APT repo - where we upload our
+   patched toolchain packages - for the testing suite, but leave it active for
+   the unstable and experimental suites. This allows us to continue to
+   experiment with new patches to toolchain packages, whilst retaining a stable
+   mostly-reproducible toolchain environment for stretch.
+
+Continuous integration:
 
-disorderfs:
-	- fix jenkins job to build disorderfs from git master branch (and remove job which build from other branches as we have none). (h01ger)
+ * Holger updated our jenkins jobs for
+   [disorderfs](https://jenkins.debian.net/job/reproducible_disorderfs_from_git_master/)
+   and
+   [strip-nondeterminism](https://jenkins.debian.net/job/reproducible_strip-nondeterminism_from_git_master/)
+   to build these from their respective git master branches, and removed the
+   jobs that build them from other branches since we have none at the moment.
 
-misc development:
 
-	<      h01ger> | Uploading to mentors (via http to mentors.debian.net):
-	<      h01ger> |   Uploading $FOO_amd64.buildinfo: Upload failed: 403 Forbidden
-	pabs said lots of people have these problems (the upload fails!) and debexpo development is stalled
-	source code at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debexpo/mentors.git/
-	patches much welcome!
+Misc.

+This week's edition was written by Ximin Luo and Holger Levsen and reviewed by
+a bunch of Reproducible Builds folks on IRC.
