# Reproducible builds |
|
|
|
A reproducible build means the following (as quoted from [the |
|
reproducible builds project site](https://reproducible-builds.org/)): |
|
|
|
> Reproducible builds are a set of software development practices that |
|
create a verifiable path from human readable source code to the |
|
binary code used by computers. |
|
|
|
Roughly what this means is that if two different people compile the |
|
project from source, their outputs are bitwise identical to each |
|
other. This allows people to verify that binaries downloadable from |
|
the net actually come from the corresponding sources and have not, for |
|
example, had malware added to them. |
|
|
|
Meson aims to support reproducible builds out of the box with zero |
|
additional work (assuming the rest of the build environment is set up |
|
for reproducibility). If you ever find a case where this is not |
|
happening, it is a bug. Please file an issue with as much information |
|
as possible and we'll get it fixed.
