It's awesome there are already so many reproduxible builds on fdroid. Why aren't there more? Do devs simply not care enough? Or is it too difficult?

It is a hard problem.

Look at the monumental effort Debian went through (or hell maybe they are also still working on it) http://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds

Your link is incorrect. Its "wiki." not "wili."

Crap on my head, sorry, I literally typed it out like we lost a damn war.

Thanks for correcting.

Link is dead

Isn't that something different?

It is already possible to make apps reproducible
