[qubes-devel] Are there currently anyone assigned to update Qubes-Windows-Tools?
It seems omeg who has been maintaining Qubes-Windows-Tools the last few years, has gone inactive https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-installer-qubes-os-windows-tools and thus far, it looks like no one else has picked up the project. If it is not planned to be done any time soon, then that's alright, I can live with that. I'm already immensely grateful for everything the Qubes team has done. But it's not so easy for everyone though, some people are more heavily reliant on Windows than others for certain applications. This post is NOT a complaint or anything of the sorts, but instead a question to settle expectations on the correct path, instead of looking every day for a new update, which can be a lot of uncertainty or for some people even anxiety and frustrations, when on Qubes 4 without a means to get Windows 7 installed. Essentially people who need Windows and would love to get Qubes 4, are caught in-between without any idea when or even if Windows 7 will be supported anytime in the near-term future. In other words, just knowing it won't be anytime soon is in a way also very good news, because it puts expectations in the right place instead of uncertainty. Any such news-update on what is going on with it and what to expect, would be appreciated. Also, I'm not entirely sure regarding the code itself, but it should be somewhat close to Qubes 4 in the current Qubes-Windows-Tools? For example the Qubes 3.2. Win7 restored from backup in Qubes 4, seems to more or less work, somewhat smoothly, but not perfect. If so, maybe someone else can help with bringing Qubes-Windos-Tools to Qubes 4?

[qubes-devel] qubes-url-redirector v2.1 released!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi all :), I've just released the qubes-url-redirector extension. The GitHub repo is at [0] and the issue on QubesOS's repo is at [2]. The extension is based on the gsoc idea [1]. Soon I'll work on the Thunderbird one :). Here a brief description: qubes-url-redirector permits to manage which VM is responsible to open links, obviously redirection happens before any TCP connection is made. Furthermore, through context menu entries, you can open a specific link in a custom way. Currently you can open links in: DVM, a default-VM, a specific VM and in this VM. Before this release, the installation process was a pain, now it's very simplified. I hope that you enjoy it! :D [0] = https://github.com/raffaeleflorio/qubes-url-redirector [1] = https://www.qubes-os.org/gsoc/#thunderbird-firefox-and-chrome-extensions [2] = https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3152 Best Regards, Raffaele. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEE9bU8N8AgwMcjiC1xjTxG+6f1ce4FAlp0sCMACgkQjTxG+6f1 ce4eKxAAkSxYKxp8e1gvTmiG2douRvicYm+U5HSeRQ/ORikjVf796TDmWhAAplYB WNC8y6Hyy9PfRMS/ySY5qs1IguK6XlLa/+2zCZv5UGl7R8n0GeLmnxVRgSMStIRz rZk68tAxOpConrvLx5JJPL2og2ZKPfjVjXRWGmHwhPkCOM/Bn6drAgJm2W3NLjhZ Cp8Hwqzi3Kd8+K7y/nvkBcA/FUJe/y8Ctdf8KDRtKcO83fQKQDDGLjoeQAb89zTj w4BEvMa2UTfEtY1POugAL73UDf/mRj8Y4K0IMlPRC8G619OminnyIIAdVaVcc4cg Jzg0qmYMJ+ZSNGZXqVmaminoLQzf9ds2w+VTh9AlkrXCVckAagcSXCwsh/X7XYAc TsK5rAqzuvTb79uj+h9a3RAwtpwnawY0famhLCL/YDZaKPcF/saGkwZefDksAI4R S0fKsJZkXT9SkwpQOeV9wSlIwm7p1IkSsGCKDm6HOtolOO0AUEejFg4af8hVWAl2 gHTvjN4+qZbFgstbNbTaJ7Bh6WKlDa3HcrJk11x/S29QeQ08W1qeTuasYl/Yr+Zi fKAwfhqjFa/N8qBtInogoyzqxk5BPeikOFnedz1P+Afxe/jfuUnrleChqwKvSc89 jSLmqKi+lrT97EgMVrQm6dXJaLZGZNhMF4GooRSYd3gZPKzXgTE= =Bco5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
