I've been thinking about this. I assume part of the reason for this is that there's limited capacity on the Qubes development end to either maintain or manage an Ubuntu update repository on Qubes infrastructure, and while I think there was talk about having some sort of hosted Community repository in the past, I'm sure that's been deferred so that efforts can be focused on getting R4.0 out the door. But there are so many third-party Ubuntu PPAs hosted on Launchpad. Would it be possible for either the Qubes project or a group from the community to build and host Qubes update packages on that platform, independently from the Qubes project if need be, so that everyone in the Qubes community who runs Ubuntu templates can benefit? Granted, I don't know what the criteria is to get projects hosted over there, and Qubes packages would only really benefit those running Ubuntu on Qubes and not a normal Ubuntu user (so maybe that would disqualify it?), but it would be nice if some kind of repository could be set up to host the Qubes-specific packages that get updated whenever there are updates for mainline Qubes for community-supported templates like Ubuntu and Archlinux (and maybe others like CentOS and Trisquel in the future). What I've been doing is keeping an eye on the qubesbot on Github and whenever something gets pushed out, to take note of it and compile my own versions, but it's a pain to push out to all my VMs. I think I'm leaning towards setting up my own local repository to push updates to so that I can use that in my VMs rather than manually installing those packages myself, but it's something I don't have experience in (yet). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
