Secure open-source package ecosystems by originating, validating, and augmenting build attestations.

OSS Rebuild aims to apply reproducible build concepts at low-cost and high-scale for open-source package ecosystems.

Rebuilds are derived by analyzing the published metadata and artifacts and are evaluated against the upstream package versions. When successful, build attestations are published for the upstream artifacts, verifying the integrity of the upstream artifact and eliminating many possible sources of compromise.

We currently support the following ecosystems:

• NPM (JavaScript/TypeScript)
• PyPI (Python)
• Crates.io (Rust)

While complete coverage is the aim, only the most popular packages within each ecosystem are currently rebuilt.

The oss-rebuild CLI tool can be used to inspect attestations:

$ go install github.com/google/oss-rebuild/cmd/oss-rebuild@latest
$ oss-rebuild get pypi absl-py 2.0.0

The default output contains the rebuild's Dockerfile in base64-encoded form. To view this Dockerfile alone, we provide an option in the --output flag:

$ oss-rebuild get pypi absl-py 2.0.0 --output=dockerfile

This can be chained with the docker command to execute a rebuild locally:

$ oss-rebuild get pypi absl-py 2.0.0 --output=dockerfile | docker run $(docker buildx build -q -)

While the default --output=payload option produces more human-readable content, the entire signed attestation can be accessed as follows:

$ oss-rebuild get pypi absl-py 2.0.0 --output=bundle

The list command can be used to view the versions of a package that have been rebuilt:

$ oss-rebuild list pypi absl-py
