+[[!meta title="Reproducible Builds: Weekly report #150"]]
+
+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday March 4 and Saturday March 10 2018:
+
+ * On Saturday 10th March, Chris Lamb [presented at SCALE 16x on Reproducible Builds](https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/16x/presentations/you-think-youre-not-target-tale-three-developers).
+
+ * Dan Mux [posted about moving away from Bazel](http://danmux.com/posts/bazel_fawlty/) referencing reproducibility.
+
+ * Chris Lamb demonstrated that the Reproducible Builds can also find quality assurance issues, such as in *todoman* where [a non-fatal missing build-dependency was causing the output to be unreproducibile](https://bugs.debian.org/892381).
+
+diffoscope development
+----------------------
+
+[diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org/) is our in-depth and content-aware diff utility that can locate and diagnose reproducibility issues.
+
+Mattia Rizzolo [backported version 91 to the Debian backports repository](https://tracker.debian.org/news/938307).
+
+- Chris Lamb:
+    - [Support the case where the `python3-xattr` package is installed but `python3-pyxattr` is not.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=ec51d78) (Closes: [[!bug 892240]])
+    - [Move documentation for `maybe_decode` into a docstring on the method itself.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=dd767cc)
+    - [Avoid decoding strings by opening source files in binary mode.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=ea5dc2c)
+- Mattia Rizzolo:
+    - [tests: binary: fix test after 934dfff](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=014908f)
+    - [tests: test\_dos\_mbr: explicitly use utf8 for reading files](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=aca61db)
+    - [comparators.utils.file: don't try to decode a string](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=934dfff)
+
+In addition, Juliana — our Outreachy intern — continued her work on parallel processing.
