* our sister project 'bootstrappable builds' got some news attention for [the inclusion of Mes as a GNU project](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNU-Mes-0.17-Released)
Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday August 26 and Saturday September 1 2018:
*Bernhard M. Wiedemann wrote an article on the [SUSE Blog](https://www.suse.com/c/blog/) entitled "[Extending trust in our binaries: No backdoors have been found](https://www.suse.com/c/extending-trust-in-our-binaries-no-backdoors-have-been-found/)" on the current status of reproducible builds in SUSE.
*Jelle van der Waa [discussed the removal of svn $Id$ substitutions in Archlinux](https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2018-August/029355.html) to make builds reproducible. Got plenty agreement.
*[Mes](https://gitlab.com/janneke/mes), a Scheme-based compiler for our "sister" [bootstrappable builds](http://bootstrappable.org) effort, [announced their 0.17 release and them becoming a GNU project](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNU-Mes-0.17-Released)
* Bernhard M. Wiedemann proposed [a toolchain patch to ImageMagick](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/pull/1270) to not add a build date into png files
*[a toolchain patch to rpm](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/536) to ensure `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` is in the past (for mtime-clamping)
*[Jelle van der Waa](https://vdwaa.nl/) discussed the [removal of `svn $Id$` substitutions](https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2018-August/029355.html) in [Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/) to make builds reproducible.
* Chris Lamb uploaded version `100` of [diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org)(our in-depth "diff-on-steroids" utility which helps us diagnose reproducibility issues in packages) was uploaded to Debian unstable, [closing 8 bugs](https://tracker.debian.org/news/984157/accepted-diffoscope-100-source-all-into-unstable/).
Packages reviewed and fixed, and bugs filed
-------------------------------------------
* There were further updates for [our website](https://reproducible-builds.org/) including Arnout Engelen [adding Maven and the sbt build tool projects](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-website/commit/3d776c8) and introducing a [link from the footer to sections in 'who'](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-website/commit/6ed4948). Chris Lamb also added [Jelle van der Waa](https://vdwaa.nl/) talk to our [resources](https://reproducible-builds.org/resources/) page [[...](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-website/commit/140bca8)], added [Monero](https://getmonero.org/>) to the [Who is Involved?](https://reproducible-builds.org/who/) page and added the relevant [DebConf 18](http://debconf18.debconf.org/) presentations to our database [[...](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-website/commit/608b904>)].
* 6 Debian package reviews were added, 7 were updated and 9 were removed in this week by Chris Lamb, adding to [our knowledge about identified issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html).
There were a number of updates to our [Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/)-based testing framework that powers [tests.reproducible-builds.org](tests.reproducible-builds.org) this month, including:
* Chris Lamb:
*[Escape package name in "Schedule a new build" links](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/f5acd9ed).
* Holger Levsen:
*[Don't fail maintenance job if there are no old artifacts to delete](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/73fda51d).
*[Remove old node entries which are older than two weeks](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/2635dc7a). ([#907497](https://bugs.debian.org/90749))
* Mattia Rizzolo:
*[Escape package names in another case too](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/d0ce4086).
This week's edition was written by Bernhard M. Wiedemann, Chris Lamb, Holger Levsen & reviewed by a bunch of Reproducible Builds folks on IRC & the mailing lists.
