@mcc yup. it's reproducible++. We finally have an operating-system wide path out from the famous Thompson "trusting trust" attack!

@mcc Guix is the best thing to run on your computer basically

@cwebber well, i'm probably installing a desktop linux distro in the near future, so i'll probably give you a chance to sell me on this sometime soon D:

@cwebber @mcc every once in a while consider switching from Nixos, but I don't know how how software availability compares, and community support. I have no doubt that guile is more attractive than nix-the-language, but don't know whether it's actually worth the extra effort.

@cwebber OK and just checking, which hash algorithm(s) would need to go soft before you need to rebuild the hash tree there

Well, at best I have seen #guix at about 86% #reproducible ...

data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1

Today, it is about 92% unknown... the two build farms have a fair amount of catching up to do after the core-updates merge.

"guix" itself is not particularly reproducible, due to non-determinism with parallelism in guile. Parallelism in the Debian package of guix is disabled so is reproducible there, at least!

Would be good to see how much of the #bootstrap is bit-for-bit reproducible!
