Reproducible builds makes sense when you're distributing binaries to |
| 11 |
users. That's not typically the case with Gentoo. |

What would this even mean in the context of a source-based distro? |

It would mean that we all could reproduce the exact same bugs given the |
| 17 |
CFLAGS/USE/etc. combination. |

Many groups are working on this from different fronts; if the results |
| 20 |
stabilize at some point, Gentoo could use that to at least give the users |
| 21 |
the option of enabling reproducible builds. |
