Qubes OS version:

R4

Affected component(s):

Qubes-Whonix

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix

Expected behavior:

Possible to choose which repository to install from.

Actual behavior:

Current instructions to install the testers-only version of Whonix are lengthy.

https://www.whonix.org/w/index.php?title=Qubes/Install/Testing&oldid=34712

We are trying phase out manual use of qubes-dom0-update by user / replace it by salt (#3447) and yet we are telling users to use qubes-dom0-update before salt because of this.

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-mgmt-salt-dom0-virtual-machines/blob/master/qvm/template-whonix-gw.sls#L19 is currently hardcoding fromrepo: qubes-templates-community.

General notes:

Please allow choosing which Qubes dom0 repository should be downloaded from.

  • Default: qubes-templates-community
  • Optional: qubes-templates-community-testing
