+Toolchain development and fixes
+-------------------------------
+
+Ximin Luo [continued work](https://github.com/infinity0/rb-prefix-map) on data
+formats, code, and test cases for `SOURCE_PREFIX_MAP`. He also continued to
+talk with the [rustc team](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/38322) on
+the topic.
+
+Chris Lamb submitted [a patch](https://github.com/smcameron/wordwarvi/pull/5)
+to implement `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` for wordwarvi, a game which gave extra points
+to people who built it from source. This fixes Debian [[!bug 786593]].

+
+tests.reproducible-builds.org
+-----------------------
+

+
+- Mattia improved our process for building
+  [the performance
+  page](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_performance.html) so
+  that stats for new archs are computed correctly without manual intervention.
+
+- Holger enhanced the build node maintenance scripts to correctly detect if
+  `/dev/shm` is mounted incorrectly (due to [[!bug 851427]]) and deployed an
+  `/etc/rc.local` startup script to all systems which works around it. As a
+  result, [[!issue jenkins_semaphore_setup_issue.html]] should be obsolete.
+
+- Mattia improved the diskspace monitoring visible at
+  [our munin page](https://jenkins.debian.net/munin) for the 44 nodes we're
+  currently running.
+
+- Holger added 6GB more RAM to jenkins.debian.net, for a total of 64GB RAM, to
