+[[!meta title="Reproducible Builds: week 103 in Stretch cycle"]]
 
-https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/719823/c51cffac0f3f6509/
+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible
+Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday April 9 and
+Saturday April 15 2017:
+
+
+Media coverage
+--------------
+
+Jake Edge wrote [a
+summary](https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/719823/c51cffac0f3f6509/) of Vagrant
+Cascadian's talk on Reproducible Builds at LibrePlanet.
+
+
+Toolchain development and fixes
+-------------------------------
+
+Ximin Luo forwarded [patches to
+GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-04/msg00513.html) for
+`BUILD_PATH_PREFIX_MAP` support.
+
+With this patch to backported to GCC-6, as well as a patched dpkg to set the
+environment variable, he scheduled ~3300k packages that are unreproducible in
+unstable-amd64 but reproducible in testing-amd64 - because we vary the build
+path in the former but not latter case. Our infrastructure ran these in just
+under 3 days, and we reproduced ~1700 extra packages.
+
+This is about 6.5% of [~26100 Debian source
+packages](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/unstable/index_suite_amd64_stats.html),
+and about 1/2 of the ones whose irreproducibility is due to build-path issues.
+Most of the rest are not related to GCC, such as things built by R, OCaml,
+Erlang, LLVM, PDF IDs, etc.
+
+The dip afterwards is due to reverting back to an unpatched GCC-6, but we'll be
+rebasing the patch continually over the next few weeks so the graph should stay
+up.
+

+
+
+Reviews of unreproducible packages
+----------------------------------
+
+38 package reviews have been added, 111 have been updated and 85 have been
+removed in this week, adding to our knowledge about [identified
+issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html).
+
+6 issue types have been updated:
+
+Added:
+
+- [[!issue nondeterministic_java_bytecode]]
+- [[!issue timestamp_in_jboss_messagebundle_generated_code]]
+
+Updated:
+
+- [[!issue timestamps_in_documentation_generated_by_javadoc]]
+- [[!issue randomness_in_gcj_output]] - gcj is deprecated/dead
+- [[!issue records_build_flags]], [[!issue captures_build_path]] - temporarily
+  consider these non-deterministic, to better track the issue - the patches are
+  still pending and statuses will keep changing as we upload patched packages.
+
+Removed:
+
+- [[!issue locale_in_documentation_generated_by_javadoc]]: seems to be
+  fixed for every non-FTBFS package that it was affected by.
+
+
+Weekly QA work
+--------------
+
+During our reproducibility testing, FTBFS bugs have been detected and reported by:
+
+ - Chris Lamb (3)
+ - Chris West (1)
+
+
+Misc.
+-----
+
+This week's edition was written by Ximin Luo & reviewed by a bunch of
+Reproducible Builds folks on IRC & the mailing lists.
