A bit off-topic here, but relevant to the templates debate going into the future; in the commonly accepted idea of having a template-download-manager (i.e. dropping RPM dependency) I'd be in favour of a system where a bare-bones template is shipped by the qubes team and then a standardized application is added on each of those templates to continue the install _inside_ of the template using something like tasksel (but obviously something more mature with a pretty GUI). Doing things like setting the nearest download location (mirror) can be done there too. Bottom line, I'm a fan of bare-bones templates. Because in practice, you always will end up downloading more from the internet anyway. -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
