    Description:
    Google has announced the existence of OSS Rebuild, an infrastructure for the creation and
    verification of reproducible builds of software projects. Our aim with OSS Rebuild is to empower the security community to
    deeply understand and control their supply chains by making package
    consumption as transparent as using a source repository. Our
    rebuild platform unlocks this transparency by utilizing a
    declarative build process, build instrumentation, and network
    monitoring capabilities which, within the SLSA Build framework,
    produces fine-grained, durable, trustworthy security metadata. [...] Our vision extends beyond any single ecosystem: We are committed to
    bringing supply chain transparency and security to all open source
    software development. Our initial support for the PyPI (Python),
    npm (JS/TS), and Crates.io (Rust) package registriesproviding
    rebuild provenance for many of their most popular packagesis just
    the beginning of our journey.
