Qubes tests reproducible Debian builds |
 |
The Qubes OS project has been testing reproducible Debian builds to see what is working and what still needs to be improved. There are some challenges with rebuilding the entire Debian collection of packages, one of which is that Debian is just so massively large. "We started to put it in production in order to actively rebuild Qubes OS and Debian packages, but it quickly ceased to function, as the snapshot.debian.org service was unable to sustain the load of rebuilding even a single Debian package. That said, the question was: How should we proceed in order to make it work? Clearly, those issues are critical and make the snapshot.debian.org service awful or useless for reproducible builds. The snapshot.debian.org issues have still not been addressed even after several years. The service has existed for more than a decade, yet it still suffers from the aforementioned limitations. It's either a design problem or a lack of resources, but we still had to do something. That's why we decided to create our own snapshot service. Easy to say, but not to do. First, the original snapshot service from Debian is roughly 90 TB of repository data. Second, we cannot download files easily because only HTTP(S) is available, and downloading multiple files means we are impeded by availability issues." Additional information on this experiment can be found in the Qubes news post. |
