This is the plan right now. > Will I be able to use this build for day to day working in its current state? > Or is it still too early? A bit too early. Basically there are two major features missing: - use HVM/PVHv2 instead of PV for everything - GUI tools (new manager) Besides that, there is _a lot_ of minor issues. And actually those minor issues (like: time synchronization does not work) are most annoying and IMO blocking daily usage. Anyway, I'll write soon some more elaborate status update on Qubes 4.0, on qubes-devel mailing list. > I would also like to know what choices have been made regarding pvhvm or > hvmlite as the main virtualization architecture? In the current state of PVH(v2 aka HVMlite) in Xen, we've chosen to wait a little with this, and for Qubes 4.0 use HVM with (still PV based) stubdomains. When PVHv2 support will be mature enough, we'll smoothly switch to it later (as a configuration option first). > Is the fedora build the most complete? Or would debian have any benefits over > fedora? Both are supported and both should work. I think the only place that may have some impact on compatibility is "Update VM" (the VM for downloading dom0 updates) - here having the same tool (dnf) as in dom0 (Fedora) makes it more compatible - for example you can issue any action (search, list, etc.) instead of just "download all updates" / "install specific package". > What parameters should I pick? Version r4.0.0, with dev. Testing or something > ? What about unstable vs security-testing? Currently no binary package is uploaded to yum/apt repository (this is where security-testing, unstable, current-testing, current repositories are) for Qubes 4.0. As for the source code - in most repositories "master" branch already contains Qubes 4.0 code. There are few (but important!) exceptions, where "core3-devel" branch should be used. We're working right now on moving remaining code to "master" branch. > Hope someone can explain how I can build myself a good r4.0 iso. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
