12. Arch Linux Now Has a Bit-for-Bit Reproducible Docker Image (antiz.fr)
As a follow-up to the similar milestone reached for our WSL image a few months ago, I’m happy to share that Arch Linux now has a bit-for-bit reproducible Docker image!
This bit-for-bit reproducible image is distributed under a new “repro” tag.
The reason for this is due to one noticeable caveat: to ensure reproducibility, the pacman keys have to be stripped from the image, meaning that pacman is not usable out of the box in this image. While waiting to find a suitable solution to this technical constraint, we are therefore providing this reproducible image under a dedicated tag as a first milestone.
