+# Reproducible builds
+
+Reproducibility is a goal of the Sparrow Wallet project. 
+As of v1.5.0 and later, it is possible to recreate the exact binaries in the Github releases (specifically, the contents of the `.tar.gz` and `.zip` files).
+
+Due to minor variances, it is not yet possible to reproduce the installer packages (`.deb`, `.rpm` and `.exe`).
+In addition, the OSX binary is code signed and thus can't be directly reproduced yet. 
+Work on resolving both of these issues is ongoing.
+
+# Reproducing a release
+
+## Install Java
+
+Because Sparrow bundles a Java runtime in the release binaries, it is essential to have the same version of Java installed when creating the release.
+For v1.5.0 and later, the project will be using **AdoptOpenJdk jdk-16.0.1+9 Hotspot**.
+
+Set AdoptOpenJDK version for command line installation:
+```shell
+ADOPTOPENJDK_MAJOR_VERSION=16
+ADOPTOPENJDK_UNDERLINE_VERSION=16.0.1_9
+ADOPTOPENJDK_PLUS_VERSION=16.0.1+9
+ADOPTOPENJDK_FULL_VERSION=16.0.1+9-3
+```
+
+### Binaries from official site
+
+It is available for all supported platforms from the [adoptopenjdk.net](https://adoptopenjdk.net/archive.html?variant=openjdk16&jvmVariant=hotspot).

+```
+
+### Package manager
+
+AdoptOpenJDK RPM and DEB packages are available with the [latest install guide](https://adoptopenjdk.net/installation.html?variant=openjdk16&jvmVariant=hotspot#linux-pkg).
+
+#### APT
+
+Debian:
+```shell
+sudo apt update -y
+sudo apt-get install -y wget gnupg apt-transport-https
+wget -q --show-progress https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/api/gpg/key/public
+gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./adoptopenjdk-keyring.gpg --import public
+gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./adoptopenjdk-keyring.gpg --export --output adoptopenjdk-archive-keyring.gpg
+rm adoptopenjdk-keyring.gpg
+sudo mv adoptopenjdk-archive-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings
+echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/adoptopenjdk-archive-keyring.gpg] https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/deb $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptopenjdk.list
+sudo apt update -y
+sudo apt-get install -y adoptopenjdk-${ADOPTOPENJDK_MAJOR_VERSION}-hotspot=${ADOPTOPENJDK_FULL_VERSION}
+```
+
+#### RPM
+
+CentOS, RHEL and Fedora:
+```shell
+cat <<'EOF' > /etc/yum.repos.d/adoptopenjdk.repo
+[AdoptOpenJDK]
+name=AdoptOpenJDK
+baseurl=http://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/rpm/centos/$releasever/$basearch
+enabled=1
+gpgcheck=1
+gpgkey=https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/api/gpg/key/public
+EOF
+sudo yum install -y adoptopenjdk-${ADOPTOPENJDK_MAJOR_VERSION}-hotspot=${ADOPTOPENJDK_FULL_VERSION}
+```
+
+openSUSES and SLES:
+```shell
+sudo zypper ar -f http://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/rpm/opensuse/15.0/$(uname -m) adoptopenjdk
+sudo zypper install -y adoptopenjdk-${ADOPTOPENJDK_MAJOR_VERSION}-hotspot=${ADOPTOPENJDK_FULL_VERSION}
+```
+
+#### SDK
+
+A alternative option for all platforms is to use the [sdkman.io](https://sdkman.io/) package manager.
+See the installation [instructions here](https://sdkman.io/install).
+
+First, install `zip` and `unzip`. Example on Debian/Ubuntu systems:
+```shell
+sudo apt-get install -y zip unzip
+```
+
+Installation on macOS, Linux, WSL, Cygwin, Solaris and FreeBSD (compatible with BASH and ZSH shells):
+```shell
+curl -sS "https://get.sdkman.io" | ${SHELL##*/}
+source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
+```
+
+Installation on Windows with [git-scm](https://git-scm.com/download/win).
+
+Install AdoptOpenJDK HostSpot:
+```shell
+sdk install java 16.0.1.hs-adpt
+```
+
+## Building the binaries
+
+To complete the build the package below are required. Installation on Debian/Ubuntu systems:
+```shell
+sudo apt install -y rpm fakeroot binutils git wget curl gnupg tar diffutils
+```
+
+The project can cloned for a specific release tag as follows:
+```shell
+GIT_TAG="1.5.0-beta1"
+git clone --recursive --branch "${GIT_TAG}" git@github.com:sparrowwallet/sparrow.git
+```
+
+Thereafter, building should be straightforward:
+```shell
+cd sparrow
+./gradlew jpackage
+```
+
+The binaries (and installers) will be placed in the `build/jpackage` folder.
+
+### Verifying if the binaries are identical
+
+Note that you will be verifying the files in the `build/jpackage/Sparrow` folder against either the `.tar.gz` or `.zip` releases.
+Download either of these depending on your platform and extract the contents to a folder (in the following example, `/tmp`).
+Then compare all of the folders and files recursively:
+
+Import the maintainer PGP public key (Fingerperint: *E946 1833 4C67 4B40*:
+```shell
+curl -sS https://keybase.io/craigraw/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import
+```
+
+Download the binaries, manifest and signed manifest that are available on the [releases page](https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/releases):
+```shell
+wget -q --show-progress -P /tmp/ https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/releases/download/"${GIT_TAG}"/sparrow-"${GIT_TAG}"-manifest.txt
+wget -q --show-progress -P /tmp/ https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/releases/download/"${GIT_TAG}"/sparrow-"${GIT_TAG}"-manifest.txt.asc
+wget -q --show-progress -P /tmp/ https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/releases/download/"${GIT_TAG}"/sparrow-"${GIT_TAG}".tar.gz
+```
+
+Verify if the manifest authenticity (*Good signaure* is what you need):
+```shell
+gpg --verify /tmp/sparrow-${GIT_TAG}-manifest.txt.asc /tmp/sparrow-${GIT_TAG}-manifest.txt
+```
+
+Check if the hash of the `.tar.gz` is correct (*OK* is what you need):
+```shell
+sha256sum -c /tmp/sparrow-"${GIT_TAG}"-manifest.txt --ignore-missing
+```
+
+Extract the archive:
+```shell
+tar -xf /tmp/sparrow-"${GIT_TAG}".tar.gz
+```
+
+Compare the built binaries (this command should have no output indicating that the two folders and all their contents are identical):
+```shell
+diff -r build/jpackage/Sparrow /tmp/Sparrow
+```
