-Upstreamed:
+What happened in the [Reproducible
+Builds](https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds) effort between Sunday
+January 8 and Saturday January 14 2017:
 
-* forwarded 849972 https://github.com/lsegal/yard/pull/1048
 
-for better tracking, "#851225: udd: patches: index by DEP-3 "Forwarded" status" was filed by danielsh
+Reproducible work in other projects
+-----------------------------------
 
-Other projects:
-```
-<pabs> I'd like to suggest a tweet of http://bootstrappable.org/ but not sure what to write
-<pabs> maybe "another step after reproducible builds is bootstrappable builds! http://bootstrappable.org/"
-<pabs> btw, anyone interested in bootstrappable builds might want to join #debian-bootstrap
-```
+[https://verification.f-droid.org/](https://verification.f-droid.org/) has been
+launched. It rebuilds apps from source that were built by f-droid.org and
+checks that the results match.
 
-mksquashfs: lynxis made it reproducible, looking for testers: 
-- compilation on BSD systems: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD
-- create a LiveCD and see if it's working (tails?)

+Bernhard M. Wiedemann [did some more work](
+https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-01/msg00120.html) on
+reproducibility for openSUSE.
 
+http://bootstrappable.org/ (unfortunately no HTTPS yet) was launched at the
+RWS2. This is another topic related to reproducible builds, and both will be
+needed in order to do Diverse Double Compilation in practise in the future.

+Toolchain development and fixes
+-------------------------------
+
+Chris Lamb forwarded [[!bug 849972]] upstream to

+generator. Upstream has fixed the issue as of [release
+0.9.6](https://github.com/lsegal/yard/issues/1049).
+
+Alexander Couzens (lynxis) has made `mksquashfs`
+[reproducible](https://github.com/squashfs-tools/squashfs-tools), and is
+[looking for testers](https://lunarius.fe80.eu/blog/mksquash-dot-graph.html).
+It compiles on BSD systems: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD.

+tests.reproducible-builds.org
+-----------------------------
+
+Ximin Luo added stricter tests to check that `/dev/shm` and `/run/shm` are both
+mounted with the correct permissions. Many of the build machines currently fail
+this test, and the problem is causing some packages to FTBFS, e.g. from errors
+calling `sem_open`. The proper fix is still being discussed.
+
+
+Misc.
+-----
+
+Ximin Luo researched data formats for `SOURCE_PREFIX_MAP` and explored
+different options for encoding a map data structure in a single environment
+variable. He also continued to talk with the [rustc
+team](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/38348) on the topic.
+
+Daniel Shahaf filed [[!bug 851225]] to make it easier to track our patches.
+
+This week's edition was written by Ximin Luo and reviewed by a bunch of
+Reproducible Builds folks on IRC & the mailing lists.
