Options Matter: Documenting and Fixing Non-Reproducible Builds in Highly-Configurable Systems

A critical aspect of software development, build reproducibility, ensures the dependability, security, and maintainability of software systems. Although several factors, including the build environment, have been investigated in the context of non-reproducible builds, to the best of our knowledge the precise influence of configuration options in configurable systems has not been thoroughly investigated. This paper aims at filling this gap.
