Building this package twice does not produce the bit-by-bit identical result each time, making it harder to detect CI breaches. You can read more about this at https://reproducible-builds.org/ .

+
12
+
Fixing bit-by-bit reproducibility also has additional advantages, such as avoiding hard-to-reproduce bugs, making content-addressed storage more effective and reducing rebuilds in such systems.

+
### Steps To Reproduce
15
+
16
+
```
17
+
nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A ... --check --keep-failed
18
+
```
19
+
20
+
You can use `diffoscope` to analyze the differences in the output of the two builds.
21
+
22
+
To view the build log of the build that produced the artifact in the binary cache:
23
+
24
+
```
25
+
nix-store --read-log $(nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A ...)
26
+
```
