Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:11 jsha]:
 > gk, you say that deleting the rulesets.sqlite file before rebuilding
 results in a reproducible build.

 Yes, it is reprocducible on the same machine but gives different results
 on different machines.

 > I get the same results locally. Is there any reason not to make that the
 default behavior? Reusing the existing DB doesn't save any build time,
 since each build rewrites all of the tables.

 Yes, we do that. There is no reuse happening, just the https-e repo and
 one ./makexpi.sh.
