Hi,
can we add something to the roadmap like this:
- guix package --search should displays if the returned packages one
asked for are reproducible.
Having a distinction between reproducible and not reproducible would
enable us (or at least help us) to display the progress towards a fully
reproducible system.
I don't see how anyone can say that package X is definitely reproducible.
Just because it built identically twice, doesn't mean that it'll happen
again the third time - especially if that attempt is on a different
machine, day-of-week etc
Perhaps there could be a flag to indicate "this derivation has been demonstrated
NOT to be reproducible".
