Debian har gjort reproducerbara byggen till ett strikt krav för paket som ska inkluderas i dess testgren. Förändringen gäller cykeln för Debian 14 Forky och trädde i kraft den 9 maj.
Debians release-team meddelade att alla paket som misslyckas med en reproducerbarhetskontroll kommer att blockeras från migrering. Detta gäller både nya paket och paket som redan finns i testgrenen men som senare förlorar sin reproducerbarhet. Paul Gevers delade uppdateringen på e-postlistan debian-devel-announce.
