R3.2 fc26 yum repository

[Alex]

Hi all,
does anybody know why the fc26 yum repository has appeared at
https://yum.qubes-os.org/r3.2/current/vm/fc26 and does contain some
metadata but does not contain any RPMs?

This prompt my appVMs to show several "Software update available" and
"OS update available", but since there are no RPM files, I cannot
actually move to fc26 (which, incidentally, I would like to do :)

Hi,
It is just a preparation of Qubes repositories for building the template (https://groups.google.com/d/topic/qubes-devel/l9xDmPXpNfg/discussion)

You can build the template if you want using my repos but it should be available soon in the officials. I can send you if you want a specific config conf for qubes-builder.

Best,

Thank you for your answer!

Although I'm not sure why these repos are not kept in current-testing
while not 100% ready (i.e. with RPMs packaged), I'm really glad that
fc26 is near.

My plan is to upgrade my actual templates instead of using new ones, but
still, the availability of RPMs will be key for both goals.

Your welcome :)

It is really just a matter of how the templates are built. By default, a generic file for repositories is included with release variable for current current-testing etc. It would be much more work to separate everything depending on the state of all others packages...
