I started cloning the original fedora 24 template, which is already configured for the correct yum repositories, and upgraded that to 25. Since the yum config is dynamically expanded to the actual distro release number, it just works. I'm on Qubes R3.2, and I don't understand both why the fedora 25 template is missing from the 3.2 repository and why a user should wait for such a template to be available in the repository, while he/she could just clone the 24 and update that, if having a cutting-edge-stable system is important in their scenario (like, in mine it is so I did just that).
If you start with a template from scratch you can either use the yum repositories or the debian ones, depending on what your distribution supports, or you can include a specific version of the tools you compile/make yourself - the vast majority of them is in Python, so there should be little trouble using them in another distro. If you do include a specific version updates will likely have to be manually detected and installed, unless you also set up a custom repository and package manager system and maintain that. -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
