[FIXME reproducible Arch Linux packages](https://linderud.dev/blog/reproducible-arch-linux-packages/) by Morten Linderud
* The slight [green bump](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/archlinux/archlinux.png) is due to a bug in the CI test framework where one build was building with --nocheck while the other did run and install the test dependencies leading to differences in the BUILDINFO file.
* A lot of work has been put into getting [core] more reproducible, every package has been [rebuild](https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-November/029721.html) with a new pacman which resolves an issue in storing the package size. Build failures and download issues have been resolved which lead to an increase of reproducible packages in the CI setup.
* Morten Linderud (Foxboron) wrote a [blogpost](https://linderud.dev/blog/reproducible-arch-linux-packages/) on reproducible builds progress for Arch packages, how to reproduce packages and the future of reproducible builds progress.
* The standard Arch development tools package devtools contains a new 'makerepropkg' tool which can reproduce a repository package given a PKGBUILD exists in the current working directory.
#### openSUSE
* Bernhard M. Wiedemann posted a [2019 summary of openSUSE updates](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2019-November/001722.html), including rpm, [high level openSUSE status](https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1133809), [fixing problems with .pyc files](https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1094323) which is also relevant to Archlinux and [a nice graph](http://rb.zq1.de/compare.factory/graph.png).
