-- We changed the data storage backend from a single sqlite3 database, to a
-  PostgreSQL database.  With this change we'll be able to scale a lot more, and
-  soon add testing of the arm64 architecture.  (spectranaut wrote most of the code,
-  mapreri did great reviews of it, leading to better code and h01ger just deployed it
-  and found some minor bugs, which so far mostly mapreri fixed…)
-- added arm64. thanks codethink. (h01ger)
+What happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds) effort between Sunday December 18 and Saturday December 24 2016:
+
+Media coverage
+--------------
+
+[100% Of The 289 Coreboot Images Are Now Built
+Reproducible](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Coreboot-100-Reproducible-Build)
+by Phoronix, with more details in
+[German](http://www.pro-linux.de/news/1/24303/coreboot-erreicht-100-reproduzierbare-builds.html)
+by Pro-Linux.de.
+
+We have further reports on our Reproducible Builds World summit #2 in Berlin
+from [Rok Garbas of
+NixOS](https://garbas.si/2016/reproducible-builds-summit-in-berlin.html) as
+well as [Clemens Lang of
+MacPorts](https://lists.macports.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2016-December/035052.html)
+
+
+Debian infrastructure work
+--------------------------
+
+[[!pkg reprepro]]/5.0.0-1 has added support for dealing with `.buildinfo` files
+that are included in `.changes` files. (Closes: [[!bug 843402]])
+
+[Dak](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDak) now saves buildinfo files, thanks to
+[a patch](https://github.com/lamby/dak/tree/pu/buildinfo) from Chris Lamb. We
+also have mostly finalised a design of how they will be distributed by the
+Debian FTP mirror network, which we will start implementing soon.
+
+
+Reproducible work in other projects
+-----------------------------------
+
+The Chromium project is now working on making their build process (mostly)
+[deterministic](https://www.chromium.org/developers/testing/isolated-testing/deterministic-builds).
+
+Their motivation is to save both "[money] (less hardware is required) and
+developer time (reduced latency by having less work to do on the TS and CI)".
+
+
+Bugs filed
+----------
+
+* Chris Lamb:
+  * [[!bug 848721]] filed against [[!pkg apt]].
+  * [[!bug 848866]] filed against [[!pkg libcorelinux]].
+  * [[!bug 849314]] filed against [[!pkg node-gulp]].
+  * [[!bug 849333]] filed against [[!pkg faker]].
+* Dhole:
