Thanks for your hard work on this. Just a question on the technical side: weren't CentOS 8.3 packages already built once for CentOS Stream in the past? It should reduce the amount of packages to be rebuilt right?
For most of them, yes. Some are new. Should be faster than in the past.
While we are at it, I was always wondering about reproducible builds. From what I understand RHEL is not reproducible, otherwise most packages of CentOS should be identical with the RedHat packages, right?
Wouldn't it be a security improvement if RHEL builds were 100% reproducible? Or do I miss something here?
