I tried following some of the links to see, but the article isn't clear as to where these tested packages are from. I'm assuming this is just the regular repos and not the AUR. I'd expect those to have a lower reproducible build rate, being that they're kinda the wild west of packages.

Someone else posted this : https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/archlinux/archlinux.html

And yes, AUR can imho be seen as an unofficial and not particular endorsed part of Arch Linux :)

Ah! It was right there the whole time - I had already skimmed through that page. On a phone at the moment and didn't notice the table that clearly shows the breakdown by the official repos. My bad!
