A build is reproducible if given the same source code, build environment and build instructions, and metadata from the build artifacts, any party can recreate copies of the artifacts that are identical except for the signatures and parts of metadata.
The reason Fedora is pursuing a different definition of reproducible build is that it cannot achieve ““bit-by-bit”” reproducibility by the original definition.
As much as I like fedora, I’m on the suse side.
It should be based on suse because it is european. EU wants to push european it solutions. Fedora would be better than microsoft but it is both linux after all. Both can use kde and gnome. They are not so much different.
Moreover, BSI, Secunet and others already work with suse.
Edit: I should install opensuse myself to put my money where my mouth is. The difference between fedora and opensuse isn’t too big for me anyway.
Are there suse based distros, like ublue? https:// osinside.github.io/kiwi/overview.html
