An RDI system is a system containing one or more RDI components. RDI hardware components may not be submitted as _Available_ components until the submission cycle after next or 221 days whichever is longer. + +Software RDI systems must use a _Reproducible_ software stack. A reproducible software stack consists only of _Available_ components and _Reproducible_ binary components. A binary component is _Reproducible_ if it is downloadable and installable by the submission deadline from a public URL, which must remain valid until a release of the software is Available. The binary must be accompanied with instructions to allow a reasonable expert user to install it on a hardware system similar to the submission system. ## After publication
