Hi, I am new to this Slack channel. Question regarding: Issue 30871: Reproducible archives enabled by default LINK Is it even possible to have reproducible archives regardless of the operating system used to create said archive? The question is about byte-for-byte equivalence.

Sure, why should it not be possible?

Slightly different jar compression algorithm on different OSs for some OS-specific reasons, for example?

Unlikely, the archives are built by Java code afair
