-What happened in the [Reproducible
-Builds](https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds) effort between Sunday July 3 and Saturday July 16 2016:
-
-FIXME: write intro
-------------------
-- mentioned this is a combined issue due to backlog (and the efforts of a once funding boring task…)
-- mention there is another backlog issue: 66
-- mention 66 wil have a survey…
-
-
-Media and events coverage
---------------
-
-DebConf16
----------
- * lamby's talk at dc16…
- * vagrant's talk at dc16…
- * other relevant stuff at dc16?
- * mentioned in the DPL talk…
-
-Over 200 bugs filed during DC16. (Maybe we can have more details here?)
-
-GSoC and Outreachy updates
---------------------------
-
-- Valerie was busy in Cape Town…
-
-- Ceridwen
-  [described](https://reproducible.alioth.debian.org/blog/posts/people/ceridwen/reprotest_week6/)
-  how autopkgtest really works and how the containers handle states,
-  and talked about generating shell scripts.
-
-- Ceridwen
-  [announced](https://reproducible.alioth.debian.org/blog/posts/people/ceridwen/reprotest_week7/)
-  untested reprotest support for the other autopkgtest containers and
-  discussed preparing for the second release.
-
-- Scarlett Clark explained [why she had to stop working via Outreachy](http://scarlettgatelyclark.com/2016/debian-reproducible-builds-outreachy-and-i/), she got a new job. We're happy for her and hope she'll stick around to make all of Qt and KDE reproducible one day! (And not to forget: thank you, Scarlett for all you did in that regard so far!)
-
-Toolchain fixes
----------------
-
-- Guillem Jover uploaded [[!pkg dpkg]]/1.18.8 to unstable, containing a lot of
-  changes relevant for us:
-  + Use new GNU tar `--clamp-mtime` option in dpkg-deb(1) to make sure no file in
-    binary packages has an mtime later than the given time.  Closes: [[!bug 759886]]
-  + Use the same timestamp for the ar container as for tarball mtime clamping
-    in dpkg-deb(1).
-  + Set ar timestamp and tar mtime clamping to `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` if defined
-    in dpkg-deb(1).  (Based on a patch by Lunar).
-  + Preset build timestamp to latest changelog entry in dpkg-buildpackage(1),
-    by setting `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable if it is not already
-    defined. (Based on a patch by Lunar).  Closes: [[!bug 759999]]
-  + Export `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` from pkg-info.mk makefile snippet.  Closes: [[!bug 824572]]
-  + Add new Timestamp field to Dpkg::Changelog output, which ends up on
-    dpkg-parsechangelog(1)'s output.
-
-  This is a huge upload for us, so thank you Guillem for doing it and helping
-  reproducible builds becoming something real.<br />
-  Not even 12 hours later Guillem did another upload (versioned as 1.18.9) to
-  address an important regression (which prevented nearly everything to be built).<br />
-  Mattia Rizzolo quickly rebased our patched copy, happily dropping most of the
-  patches.
-- Mattia Rizzolo uploaded [[!pkg rdfind]]/1.3.4-2.1 to unstable, fixing
-  [[!bug 795790]], a sorting issue which affects some dozens packages.<br />
-  With this upload, the *only one* package is left in our custom repository is dpkg!
-
-With this dpkg upload there can be real reproducible packages in the wild; we
-still have a couple of local patches (to normalize the control.tar member of the
-`.deb` files, to enable by default the `-fdebug-path-map` option of GCC, and to
-produce the `.buildinfo` files), but nonetheless we expect a lot of packages to
-be reproducible out of the box, and we're actually looking out to find them!

-Reproducible work in other projects
------------------------------------
-
-- lynxis started refactoring the existing [OpenWrt](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/openwrt/) tests so that there's now also a job testing [LEDE](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/lede/). LEDE is a new fork from OpenWrt which [describes itself on the LEDE homepage](https://lede-project.org/) with these words: "LEDE … aims for an open governance model and attempts to simplify contributing to encourage new developers in embedded development." For the time being, we will test both [...]

-Patches submitted that have not made their way to the archive yet:

- * The building users login shell is now also varied between '/bin/sh' and '/bin/bash'. The variation of '/bin/sh' pointing to '/bin/dash' in the first build and to '/bin/bash' in the second build is still in effect too. (h01ger)
- * Phil Hands updated `update_jdn.sh` to distribute user keys everywhere so that Mattia now can also login to all armhf nodes and do maintenance there.

-Misc.

-This week's edition was written by Holger Levsen, Mattia Rizzolo,… and reviewed by a bunch of Reproducible builds folks on IRC.

-
-- include survey:
-  - how often would you like to read reproducible news? weekly like before or would bi-weekly be a better schedule?
-  - what do you think about the content, specifically the stats? (FIXME: explain more…)
-  - FIXME (send this survey to debian-devel and reproducible-general too)

-- Valerie Young [published](http://www.spectranaut.cc/?p=45) a report of UI changes

-
-t.r-b.o:
-	- unstable/i386 reaches >21k reproducible packages (in our test setup), while unstable/amd64 is coming closer to reach 22k!
-	- armhf (re-)scheduling frequency has been brought in line with amd64/i386 as it's comparable in speed nowadays. (h01ger)
