P.S. The original description and title said it would be good to have the official packages of Tahoe-LAFS and all of its dependencies built using gitian, but I have a few problems with that. First, there aren't official packages of Tahoe-LAFS. Second, I don't understand why gitian is either necessary or sufficient for the goal of reproducible build, and I don't like what little I understand of its approach, which is virtual-machine-based.

  • Ticket #2057 – Description

    initial v5  
    33From http://gitian.org/:
    44  Gitian uses a deterministic build process to allow multiple builders to create identical binaries. This allows multiple parties to sign the resulting binaries, guaranteeing that the binaries and tool chain were not tampered with and that the same source was used. It remove the build and distribution process as a single point of failure.
