fedora-27-minimal: networking support?

[Johannes Graumann]

Hello,

The fedora-27-minimal template from the repo does not appear to have networking support. What needs to be installed to remedy that?

Thank you for any hint.

Sincerely, Joh

I have just migrated all my sys-AppVMs from a fedora-26-minimal to a fedora-28-minimal image.
I also had some issues with networking and got it working after installing some more packages:

When I build my standard-App-Template for daily use, the AppVM was unable to connect to the web.
I had to install the following packages in the template to get networking:

dnf install qubes-core-agent-networking

I guess the same applies for fedora 27.

That indeed was the missing item ...
I had studied the 4.0 section of https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates
/fedora-minimal/, but failed to identify this, as the corresponding
listing is somewhat confusing: "... qubes-core-agent-networking:
Networking support. Required if the template is to be used for a sys-
net or sys-firewall VM." I want networking, but NOT use the https://www
.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/fedora-minimal/late as sys-net/-firewall

Thank you!

Why not?
Isn't it a prefered way to have an All-I-Need-Is-In-For-Networking-VM?
Maybe additional packages someone would never use in an AppVm is an argument or to get only the basic support to lower any risk.
