Guidelines

  • I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed issues that are similar to the feature request I want to file, without success.
  • I'm on the latest version.
  • I'm not using a test build (alpha/beta/release-candidate).
  • This issue contains only one feature request.

Problem Description

Recently, among other great updates, new badges has been added to Neo Store to indicate whether a given package has been built reproducibly.

This alone is a great feature that improves user confidence regarding installed packages. I think that one missing thing is prevention of an upgrade of a reproducibly built package to a new version that hasn't been built reproducibly. This seems to occur fairly often and most of the time does not indicate a security issue but may increase user confidence that they only ever install reproducibly built packages.

Proposed Solution

A way to achieve this could be placing a check box in the settings with a label "Prevent upgrading of packages to non reproducibly-built versions".
