Qubes Builder: install-templates.sh wants to install the 'same' image multiple times

[adrelanos]

Any idea how this can happen? User error or script bug?

It looks like you built whonix-gw 5 times. The script just adds whatever
is present in the linux-template-builder/rpm/noarch directory. I often
clean up those images once in a while.

[adrelanos]

Yes.

Can we make it pass only the most recent images?

Or have only one image in linux-template-builder/rpm/noarch at a time? At least if it's the very same version?

Passing all the most recent images would be really nice IMO. I often
build 8+ templates at a time, then I just add -y to the install.sh to
remove/add the templates in dom0.

You are the shell genius, you want to take a stab at modifying
'create_template_list.sh', or I can add it to my TODO list?

I think it would be a mistake to restrict the list to the latest builds.
Just because you've built it doesnt mean you want to install it, and if you build multiple templates at the same time you might want to be selective in which versions you install of different templates.
There has to be some user choice - either by moving templates out of rpm/noarch or by commenting the files list in install-templates.sh. (This is what I do.)
A better approach might be to have the full list of available files provided, already commented out, and then have the user select those to be installed.

Or have all out commented by default with the exception of the most recent 'same' ones?

I don't mind either way. Whoever gets to work on this first.
