--------------------------+-----------------------------
Haiku packages are not reproducible.
(If I build vim-7.2-1-x86_64.hpkg twice, the checksum will wildly vary
each time.)
There are places however we could greatly improve the reproducibility
however, one example is patching gcc2 to stop putting timestamps in all
object files it generates.
The more reproducible hpkg files are when built, the more Haiku could
potentially leverage de-duplication and similar tech to reduce the storage
size of repositories, and increase the ability for p2p hosting of them.
