-< emaste> interesting report on unconvering non-determinism in llvm: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-July/115025.html
+[[!meta title="Reproducible Builds: week 115 in Stretch cycle"]]
 
-Packages fixed and bugs filed
------------------------------
+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible
+Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday July 2 and
+Saturday July 8 2017:
+
+
+Reproducible work in other projects
+-----------------------------------
+
+Ed Maste points to [a
+thread](http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-July/115025.html) on the
+LLVM developer mailing list about container iteration being the main source of
+non-determinism in LLVM, and discussions on how to solve this. Ignoring build
+path issues, container iteration order was also the main issue with rustc,
+which was fixed by using a [fixed-order hash
+map](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/e4791e086d671d429db864787f6b60547a28b0f5)
+for certain compiler structures. (It was unclear from the thread whether LLVM's
+builds are truly path-independent, or rather that they haven't done comparisons
+between builds run under different paths.)

+
+diffoscope development
+----------------------
+
+Development continued in
+[git](https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/diffoscope.git/log/) with
+contributions from:
+
+- Ximin Luo:
+  - Add a PartialString class to help with lazily-loaded output formats such as
+    html-dir.
+  - html and html-dir output:
+    - add a size-hint to the diff headers and lazy-load buttons
+    - add new limit flags and deprecate old ones
+  - html-dir output
+    - split index pages up if they get too big
+    - put css/icon data in separate files to avoid duplication
+  - main: warn if loading a diff but also giving diff-calculation flags
+  - Test fixes for Python 3.6 and CI environments without imagemagick ([[!bug
+    865625]]).
+  - Fix a performance regression ([[!bug 865660]]) involving the Wagner-Fischer
+    algorithm for calculating levenshtein distance.
+
+With these changes, we are able to generate a
+[dynamically-loaded](https://people.debian.org/~infinity0/repro/gcc-6-repro/gcc.diff.html/)
+HTML diff for GCC-6 that can be displayed in a normal web browser. For more
+details see [this mailing list
+post](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2017-July/000559.html).
+
+
+Misc.
+-----
+
+This week's edition was written by Ximin Luo and Bernhard M. Wiedemann &
+reviewed by a bunch of Reproducible Builds folks on IRC & the mailing lists.
