Hello, list.

Sorry if this has been already discussed - didn't read the mailing list
long time. I've found myself in need to change templates once again as
templates for too old fedora are not even updating at my side and it
appears I've time to learn Qubes devops.

Since Qubes OS site seem to have no direct link to search dox I used to
yandex 'qubes os automation' and found this link:

https://github.com/Rudd-O/ansible-qubes

As I understood this project  is not from Qubes team and seem to be absent
in official documentation. Has this any security reason?
It could be helpful for those  who already know some ansible (as I do).

Though some of possible  management use cases seem to break Qubes way of
doing things securely (especially Qubes VM -> Qubes dom0):
---quote---

   - Qubes VM -> Qubes VM
   - Qubes VM -> Qubes dom0 (see below for enablement instructions)
   - Qubes dom0 -> Qubes VM
   - Qubes VM -> network (SSH) -> Qubes VM on another Qubes host (see below)
   - normal desktop Linux -> network (SSH) -> Qubes VM on another Qubes host

---quote---

Also this project claimed to be specific for Qubes  3 (that's not a problem
for me since I prefer to use old but quite stable releases), though an
issue related to Qubes 4.0-rc2 .

The other thing I'm not sure is indirect dependency on gpg2 (via
https://github.com/Rudd-O/qubes-pass which relies on 'pass' program, which
functionality is very promising for me) - is gpg2 is a acceptable
replacement for gpg 1.4 version accepted by most of community? I'm still
comfortable w/ old gpg 1.4, but use of 'pass' program seem to be a
motivation to move. As via
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/264350/gpg2-warning-using-insecure-memory/264402#264402
and other yandex searches I see that most difference between gpg and gpg2
is use of external library (also developed by same people who made gpg
1.4). Quick search for CVEs related made me think that most important ones
affect both gpg and gpg2 (may be I'm wrong). Does gpg2 has wide attack
surface in comparision w/ gpg 1.4 ?

Has people used qubes automation with ansible w/ above project already? I
mean some reputation.
The project currently has 23 stars on github  - looks promising, isn't it?
