How To Install reprotest on Fedora 34
reprotest is Build packages and check them for reproducibility
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install reprotest on Fedora 34.
What is reprotest
reprotest builds the same source code twice in different environments, and then checks the binaries produced by each build for differences. If any are found, then diffoscope (or if unavailable then diff) is used to display them in detail for later analysis. It supports different types of environment such as a “null” environment (i.e. doing the builds directly in /tmp) or various other virtual servers, for example schroot, ssh, qemu, and several others. reprotest is developed as part of the “reproducible builds” Debian project.
We can use yum or dnf to install reprotest on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install reprotest.
Install reprotest on Fedora 34 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
Fedora 34 - x86_64 20 kB/s | 6.6 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.4 kB/s | 989 B 00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 68 kB/s | 6.5 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB 00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install reprotest using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install reprotest
Install reprotest on Fedora 34 Using yum

Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install reprotest using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install reprotest
How To Uninstall reprotest on Fedora 34
