Confuse Update QUbes OS

[Luc libaweb]

Hello,

When I update my Dom0, I have :
Failed to synchronize cach for repo "template" and "current"

But, I have then nothing to do and complete.

Qubes OS is updated ?

My release cat is 4.0 but not 4.0.1 ?

I don't uderstand if I have to upgrade template or it's automatic whith the update tool.

Thanks

This error is usually temporary, like if you are having internet
trouble. Try running update again.

A fully patched install of 4.0 is no different than 4.0.1.

The update tool will update patches within templates. However, it does
not handle updating to entirely new template versions like Fedora 29 to
30 or Debian 9 to 10. See https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates for those.

The Debian 10 Qubes template isn't out yet. It's in testing so it should
be soon. Hopefully, associated documentation would be updated around the
same time.

I don't know how Gmane works. Maybe you can't reply to posters directly
with it. Using the Qubes listserv with email does work for that.

Debian-10 is stuck in testing at the moment because it needs packages
from the *testing* repositories for updating. This could be confusing if
users install from current and don't want to use the testing
repositories.

Also, I've noticed a few regressions in the minimal template which need
fixing before release. So testing it remains.
Andrew will announce when the templates become available in "current".

I don't think that Gmane works any more, does it? If you have a message referenced
ed there you should be able to find it in archive.org, and reply from
there.

I'm sorry that confused me. My main template is buster based and pulls
from "/r4.0/vm buster main". Everything looks fine. Can you please
clarify what you mean with the above?

Qubes packages - require =versions only in testing.
Try to install some new packages.
Most evident when using 10-minimal

I use thunderbird to read the qubes-users, then I right click and
"respond to all" it populates and email with

qubes-users-/JYPxA39Uh5...@public.gmane.org
<qubes-users-/JYPxA39Uh5...@public.gmane.org>

awokd <awokd-3/zlZwsHf7wrJJtfVaBC2A-...@public.gmane.org>

in the "To:" fields

then there is a "newsgroup:" field gmane.os.qubes.user

I retitle the "to:" field to qubes...@googlegroups.com
<qubes...@googlegroups.com>

and delete the other fields

but actually have no idea if this is the best method for gmane use


so seems gmane does work at least for reading the newsgroup sir unman :)

Thanks.
I stopped using gmane some while back: I had no idea the service was
still running, (albeit with some bugs.)
