Holy shit! Mes now compiles tinycc which compiles gcc!

The fully reproducible system is nearly upon us!

@cwebber I think you might mean bootstrapable, rather than reproducible...

@cbaines Yes, but they're intertwined. If you can't fully bootstrap the system, you can't *really* reproduce it. ;)

Christopher Baines @cbaines

@cwebber that makes sense. I guess when I think of *fully* reproducible, I think of a list like this tests.reproducible-builds.org/

On the reproducibility axis, I think the degree of success relates to how well the variations which are introduced are handled.

@cwebber

what is a seed? is it to grow trees with gcc? 🤤

@cbaines @cwebber Debian uses documented variations as a workaround for the lack of a reproducible build environment, whereas guix tries to make the build environment more reproducible, and the output bit-for-bit identical between build runs.
