@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 :)

@obfusk @IzzyOnDroid Yuup, even just seeing one small slice of it I can't imagine the sort of work it takes to keep up w/ the whole ecosystem.
Also very thankful for how seamless it all is for us app devs! (Aside from when we fuck up, anyway… >.<)

@natkr @IzzyOnDroid we're a small team, but we do our best for the community. it's always a pleasure to work with app devs like you that appreciate it. it's all about teamwork :)
