-#877019: ITP: nix -- Purely functional package manager
-
-A powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that
-makes package management reliable and reproducible. Nix provides
-atomic upgrades and rollbacks, side-by-side installation of multiple
-versions of a package, multi-user package management and easy setup of
-build environments.
+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible
+Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday September 24 and
+Saturday September 30 2017:
