[qubes-users] cannot get locally built xen packages to install in dom0

[Jake]

hi list,

i made some modifications to the vmm-xen component of qubes and am 
having difficulty testing the built packages.


i have copied the packages to dom0, but attempts to dnf update with the 
newly built packages, e.g. xen-libs give the error


"problem: the operation would result in removing the following protected 
packages: qubes-core-dom0"


i would appreciate it if someone can tell me how to go about updating 
these packages so i can test them.


regards,

jake

This *.sls works nicely:

```
configure `rc.local` to remove any present `QubesIncoming`:
  file.replace:
- name: /rw/config/rc.local
- pattern: '^rm -rf /home/user/QubesIncoming$'
- repl: 'rm -rf /home/user/QubesIncoming'
- append_if_not_found: True 

configure `rc.local` to create `/tmp/QubesIncoming`:
  file.replace:
- name: /rw/config/rc.local
- pattern: '^install -d -o user -g user -m 770 /tmp/QubesIncoming$'
- repl: 'install -d -o user -g user -m 770 /tmp/QubesIncoming'
- append_if_not_found: True 

configure `rc.local` to link `/tmp/QubesIncoming` to $HOME:
  file.replace:
- name: /rw/config/rc.local
- pattern: '^ln -s /tmp/QubesIncoming /home/user/QubesIncoming$'
- repl: 'ln -s /tmp/QubesIncoming /home/user/QubesIncoming'
- append_if_not_found: True 

configure `rc.local` to properly chown the link:
  file.replace:
- name: /rw/config/rc.local
- pattern: '^chown -h user:user /home/user/QubesIncoming$'
- repl: 'chown -h user:user /home/user/QubesIncoming'
- append_if_not_found: True 
```

It generates this code block in `/rw/config/rc.local`:

```
rm -rf /home/user/QubesIncoming
install -d -o user -g user -m 770 /tmp/QubesIncoming
ln -s /tmp/QubesIncoming /home/user/QubesIncoming
chown -h user:user /home/user/QubesIncoming
```
