openSUSE reaches reproducible build milestone |
 |
The openSUSE project has taken a step closer to providing its users with reproducible builds, binary packages which are identical each time they are compiled. Reproducible builds makes it easier to spot problems, such as malicious altering of binary packages or faulty logic in the build system. "The Reproducible-openSUSE (RBOS) project, which is a proof-of-concept fork of openSUSE, has reached a significant milestone after demonstrating a usable Linux distribution can be built with 100% bit-identical packages.
Reproducible builds ensure software can be rebuilt in an identical, bit-for-bit manner anywhere at any time using the same tools. This means that someone rebuilding the software from the same source code will get exactly the same results. Why is this important? Because it’s a crucial aspect for supply-chain security.
This milestone for RBOS, led by openSUSE member Bernhard Wiedemann, advances software supply-chain security. Reproducible builds allow us to confirm that the binaries used are correct, which ensures software has not been tampered with during the build process." The process of making all of openSUSE's package reproducible is ongoing and integrating the work of the fork back into openSUSE will take some time. Details can be found in the project's news post. |
