Thanks! I am convinced now, I will learn how to create reproducible builds.
My worry is that the build is run through npm, and I think that the dependencies rely on additional dependencies such as openssl libraries. I worry that it will be a lot of work to figure out what every dependency is and how to make sure that the correct versions can be installed 10 years from now. So it looks like a difficult project, but I will read more about it and hopefully it is not as complicated as it looks!
there are some excellent blogs/articles and books on it. Basically your entire build chain has to be tooled for reproducibility, so things like Rust are very good as a foundation.
Ooh, I did not know this one was of the properties of Rust.
