+----------------------------------
+
+6 package reviews have been added, 30 have been updated and 37 have been

+issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html).
+
+
+Weekly QA work
+--------------
+
+During our reproducibility testing, FTBFS bugs have been detected and reported by:
+
+ - Adrian Bunk (40)
+ - Eric Valette (1)
+ - Markus Koschany (1)
+
+
+diffoscope development
+----------------------
+
+- Ximin Luo:
+    - Containers: diff the metadata of containers in one central location in
+      the code, so that deep-diff works between all combinations of different
+      container types. This lets us finally close [[!bug #797759]].
+    - Tests: add a complete set of cases to test all pairs of container types.
+- Chris Lamb:
+    - Temporarily skip the test for ps2ascii(1) in [[!pkg ghostscript]] > 9.21
+      which now outputs text in a slightly different format.
+    - UI wording improvements.
+
+
+reprotest development
+---------------------
+
+Version [0.7.3](https://tracker.debian.org/news/879113) was uploaded to
+unstable by Ximin Luo. It included
+[contributions](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/reprotest.git/log/?h=0.7.3)
+already covered by posts of the previous weeks, as well as new ones:
+
+- Ximin Luo:
+    - Add a `--env-build` option for testing builds under different sets of
+      environment variables. This is meant to help the discussion over at
+      [[!bug 876055]] about how we should deal with different types of
+      environment variables in a stricter definition of reproducibility.
+    - UI and logging tweaks and improvements.
+    - Simplify the `_shell_ast` module and merge it into `shell_syn`.
+
+
+Misc.
