As if reproducible builds hadn't been done before. If Debian can get to building 80% of their packages reproducibly[1], the communities around Android can get there too. Luckily, it's being worked on.[2]

Now the question is: (when) will this be supported by F-Droid?

F-Droid has supported reproducible builds for years: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Reproducible_Builds/

The real question is, when will Signal finally support it?
