[$] The history, status, and plans for reproducible builds

On the second day of https://debconf24.debconf.org/

in Busan, South Korea, Holger Levsen provided a history lesson on the
"first 11 years" of the https://reproducible-builds.org/
.
He has been involved in the project for most of that time and has been a
Debian user since the mid-1990s, contributor since 2001, and a Debian
member since 2007; "I love Debian".  Meanwhile, his aim is to make all free
software be reproducible, so that anyone can check that a binary program
comes from the source code it purports to.
