For our "automated builder setup", I've just prepared a PR adding support for RPM based systems. The PR is still marked WIP as I don't have any RPM test system at hand here – so I'm calling out for help:
Anybody willing to test the setup scripts on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS or the likes? 🙏
(more tests on Debian-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint …) are of course welcome, too)

WIP: add support for installation on RPM based systems
Fixes #2 This adds support for installing the builder package on RPM based systems. Testing needed: someone running an RPM based system, please give it a try!Codeberg.org

🐣 oops… the Easter egg hatched early! We've just reached a goal we hoped to achieve around Easter:
At #IzzyOnDroid 40% – so 2 out of every 5 apps – are now #reproducibleBuilds 🥳
So whenever you see one or more green shields next to the version of an app in our repo browser at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid you can be sure: this was built exactly from the source code it claims to be, nothing added or taken away.
Oh, and we should roll out those new shields soon™, so you see the independent builders 😉

Want to try running your own builder – to confirm apps as #reproducibleBuilds or just to build your own apps? At #IzzyOnDroid we've just made "easy setup scripts" available which should take care for all requirements, while letting you choose which parts you want:
codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/rbuil…
These scripts are not yet thoroughly tested (just a bit on Linux Mint/Debian/Ubuntu), so we'd welcome volunteers & their feedback.

We won't ever reach 100% (too many of the "older" apps cannot be build reproducible, and some "modern combinations" won't either). But we'll see to increase the numbers of apps covered further!
If you're the dev of an app listed with us but not yet covered, be welcome to reach out to us to make it happen
OK, #AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today once more brought you no new apps – but 25 updated ones, 13 of them (so every second one) RB. Numbers getting closer together now with ever more apps covered by #reproducibleBuilds at #IzzyOnDroid – our status currently is
457 apps (36.8%)
and counting. Let's see if we can make it to 40% …

Is there a „How-To make an app build reproducible“ article somewhere?
I would like to look into it for one App and I wouldn't even know how to determine IF the reproducibility is achieved or not, much less WHY or at which places to look at that might introduce „unreproducability“
@Friesenkiwi Thanks for asking! And be welcome to our wiki on #reproducibleBuilds at gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/… – and especially look at the corresponding sub-pages for "Establish an App for RB" and "RB Hints for Developers" 😃

Miss the #AndroidAppRain at #IzzyOnDroid ? Well, I'm currently busy filling the gaps with #reproducibleBuilds – and as I was asked: Yes, that's much harder the longer an app was not updated. Missing dependencies that cannot be fixed anymore (like, JCenter went offline last year). Build issues / upstream fixes needed, but the dev no longer around to help. And so on. So with 3+ years unmaintained, maybe 9 our of 10 apps simply fail…
Doing our best to get as much in as possible, though 🤞

Note the app had a transfer of ownership and uses a new signing key, so this update requires you to uninstall/reinstall the app.

@IzzyOnDroid has been doing an amazing job getting our repo to over 30% of apps being reproducible. Maintaining a rebuilder takes a lot of constant work. Thank you!
As I've written before:
[...] the ecosystem is constantly moving: old toolchain and dependency bugs get fixed, but new ones keep popping up. [...] Reproducible Builds are not just an item on a checklist [...] It's an ongoing process involving not just upstream app developers, but also maintainers of repositories, clients, and rebuilders; those involved in outreach and writing documentation; developers and maintainers of tooling, toolchains, and dependencies. And often requires a lot of collaborative debugging :)
