They are in a very rough state, but mostly everything is there in some form. If anyone has any thoughts please let me know! Also, if you want to contribute changes you can send me patches, GitLab pull requests, or just ask for commit access. I think I am going to mull over my notes for a couple more days before I email the good folks at reproducible builds, though. --=20 Alex Griffin On Mon, May 9, 2016, at 03:29 AM, Ludovic Court=C3=A8s wrote: > Alex Griffin skribis: >=20 > > On Fri, May 6, 2016, at 05:09 AM, Ludovic Court=C3=A8s wrote: > >> I think it=E2=80=99s a good idea!
