This will work when device is unmounted. On mounted device backend will be
removed (after 3s timeout), but frontend will left in "closing" state - manual
'xl block-detach' will be needed.
Get kernel from global kernels dir (/var/lib/qubes/vm-kernels), not per-VM. Can
be configured by qvm-prefs (kernel parameter).
New tool: qvm-set-default-kernel
For backward compatibility kernel=None means kernel in VM dir (kernels subdir).
(possibly empty) modules.img should be created in it.
Mainly 4 parts:
- scripts for providing rpmdb and yum repos to VM (choosen by qvm-set-updatevm)
- VM script for downloading updates (qubes_download_dom0_updates.sh)
- qfile-dom0-unpacker which receive updates, check signatures and place its in dom0 local yum repo
- qvm-dom0-upgrade which calls all of above and after all yum gpk-update-viewer
Besides qvm-dom0-upgrade, updates are checked every 6h and user is prompted if
want to download it. At dom0 side gpk-update-icon (disabled yet) should notice
new updates in "local" repo.
After yum transaction (install/upgrade/remove),
yum-plugin-post-transaction-actions will execute script which trigger
qvm-sync-appmenus in dom0 (through qrexec).
THIS INTRODUCE NEW PREDEFINED COMMAND IN QREXEC
Ex. gpk-application needs this to work properly while running from user. When
root password is set - polkit-daemon asks for it (according to polkit setting).
Move unneded /etc/init/*.conf services to /etc/init/*.conf.disabled.
Start CUPS only in AppVM and UtilityVM.
Start XDG Autostart applications only in domains that makes sense for them.
