Are Kopia binaries reproducible?

General

Trying to decide on whether to go with Kopia, Duplicati, or restic. Feature-wise, Kopia seems to best the others. However, I really like that restic binaries are reproducible:

The binaries released with each restic version starting at 0.6.1 are reproducible, which means that you can reproduce a byte identical version from the source code for that release. Instructions on how to do that are contained in the builder repository.

Are Kopia’s?

Yes. https://github.com/kopia/kopia/blob/master/BUILD.md

If you don’t need UI, it even simpler since all backup magic is in main kopia file. All you need is to install Go lang, git, set target platform in environment and go build
