+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible
+Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday April 23 and
+Saturday April 29 2017:
+
+
+Toolchain development and fixes
+-------------------------------
+
+Michael Woerister of the Rust project has implemented [file
+maps](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/41508) that affect all
+path-related compiler information, including "error messages, metadata,
+debuginfo, and the `file!()` macro alike". Ximin Luo with support from some
+other Rust developers and contributors helped steer the final result into
+something that was compatible with reproducible builds. Many thanks to all
+involved, especially for the patience of discussing this over several months.
+
+Ximin wrote a [first-attempt
+patch](https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-April/074138.html) to fix R
+build-path issues. It made 460/477 R packages reproducible, but also caused 3
+of these to FTBFS. See [[!issue randomness_in_r_rdb_rds_databases]] for
