HOW TO compile templates from sources

[nicholas roveda]

I've tried to figure out something reading the docs, but it seems to me there are more infos about how to compile a template based on a new system rather than a Fedora or Debian one.

I wanted to try with the minimal flavour of fedora 25 and Debian 9.

Can someone guide me through the entire process and tell me if its possible to start from the official rpms too, to make some custom changes?

Thanks guys.

The arch build doc should be up to date, follow that, then pick the templates you're interested in. :)

What do you mean by 'pick'?
This is the part I think it's not immediate.

Do the scripts download automatically the chosen version or I have to get the sources?

I've managed to find only the spec (config) files for Fedora and Debian for Qubes R3.1 and not for R3.2 or R4.0?
Do you know where I can find at least the necessary files for R3.2?

Can I start from the official rpms, make changes and then rebuild the packages?

It sounds like you're doing it the hard way. Have you found https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/building-archlinux-template/ ?
