Qubes R3.2, cannot find redshift{-gtk} packages on dom0

[Pablo Di Noto]

Hello all,

I have reinstalled R3.2 and want to install Redshift (and its GUI) on dom0 again.
I do not recall how I did it on R3.1, and successive updates.

I see on a Fedora 23 VM that redshift and redshift-gtk are available in the `updates` repository.

But cannot find how to access these (or equivalent) repositories on dom0. Used `qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=XXX` with many different repositories mentioned in FAQs and other posts here with XXX={updates, qubes-dom0-current-testing, qubes-dom0-security-testing, qubes-dom0-unstable, ...} but all return "Unable to find a match".

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
///Pablo

Curious here: what is Redshift and why would it be a good idea to
install it in dom0? Not judging, just curious.

Well, as I mentioned in my original post, neither `redshift` nor `redshift-gtk` seem to be available into the repositories that come installed and enabled in Qubes R3.2. 

I guess during my successive updates from R3 -> R3.1rcX -> R3.2rcX somehow I enabled a testing repository where I found it, but cannot redo the same now.

Being a mostly debian/ubuntu habitual, I am not very familiar with the latests Fedora packaging. I can grasp the idea on a Fedora 23 vm, but I get lost in the dom0 proxy update system (works like a charm, no intention of critizicing it). 

My eyes miss Redshift, would really appreciate any pointers.

Cheers,

///Pablo

Well, ahem, it turned out that following the advice on 

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/i3/

I could install it without any issue.

I swear I tried `qubes-dom0-current-testing` but it seems I did not.

Sorry for the noise!

For future reference (including to myself, it seems) you can install Redshift, (which adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings and may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night, as its author states) in plain R3.2 with:

[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing redshift redshift-gtk

AFAIK redshift cannot do this, but:

$ cat bin/my_redshift
#!/bin/sh

# berlin
COORD=52.5:13.4
redshift-gtk -l $COORD &

In order to have the feature that automatically adjust the screen color based on the time of day, you can set your location using a configuration file located in ~/.config/redshift.conf with this content:

[redshift]
location-provider=manual
[manual]
lat=-31.4
lon=-64.5

where you should put appropriate values for your actual location (or a matching timzone at least).
