Dear Qubes Community,

Marek has just published the following announcement:

https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2020/10/05/qubes-os-contributed-packages/

The plain text of this announcement is reproduced below.

"Qubes OS contributed packages are now available"
by Marek Marczykowski-Górecki

We are happy to announce the availability of Qubes OS contributed packages 
under the [QubesOS-contrib] GitHub Project. This is a place where our community 
can [contribute Qubes OS related packages, additions and various 
customizations][package-contrib]. Meanwhile, we provide the infrastructure and 
[review process] necessary to make them available easily and safely to users 
within standard Qubes installations.

[Frédéric Pierret] built the infrastructure based on a similar setup for 
building official packages. This means that it features the same [Qubes build 
security] measures, including keeping the signing keys separate in a dedicated 
VM, downloading packages over Tor, publishing build logs in a non-spoofable way 
and more. Frédéric is also the maintainer of [QubesOS-contrib].
The source code repositories of the packages and infrastructure-related parts 
are also hosted under [QubesOS-contrib].

To contribute a package, follow the process described at [package 
contributions]. You will find a few helpful tips there, including a [skeleton 
repository] with example RPM packaging and [Qubes Builder] integration.
Since the project has been running for some time already, there are already 
some submitted packages available there. To name a few:

 - [qubes-tunnel]
 - [qvm-screenshot-tool]
 - [qmenu]

You can find the full list at [QubesOS-contrib].

If you want to install one of these packages, first you need to enable the 
repository in your system (dom0 and/or templates). This can be done by 
installing the `qubes-repo-contrib` package. This package includes the 
repository definition and keys necessary to download, verify, and install 
[QubesOS-contrib] packages.

In dom0, use `qubes-dom0-update`:

    sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-repo-contrib

In a Fedora-based template, use `dnf`:

    sudo dnf install qubes-repo-contrib

In a Debian-based template, use `apt`:

    sudo apt update && sudo apt install qubes-repo-contrib
