+## Simple tool to test build reproducibility
+
+Meson now ships with a command for testing whether your project can be
+[built reprodicibly](https://reproducible-builds.org/). It can be used
+by running a command like the following in the source root of your
+project:
+
+    meson reprotest --intermediaries -- --buildtype=debugoptimized
+
+All command line options after the `--` are passed to the build
+invocations directly.
+
+This tool is not meant to be exhaustive, but instead easy and
+convenient to run. It will detect some but definitely not all
+reproducibility issues.
