If no updates are available, display some notification about that (when
GUI mode requested). Otherwise user has no idea what happened (update
failed? still doing something?).
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3751
GUI updaters and Packagekit are confused by networkless dom0 and often
report that:
- cannot check for updates (because of no network connection)
- no updates are available, even if they are
The latter happen mostly because PackageKit does not load dnf.conf, so
try to use /etc/yum.repos.d (network repositories) instead of
/etc/yum.real.repos.d (local cache, downloaded by qubes-dom0-update).
Currently PackageKit does not support configuring it, the path is
hardcoded.
Until both of above issues get fixed, prefer console updater.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1378
PackageKit is used only by GUI updaters, refresh its cache only then.
Since PackageKit daemon do not read dnf.conf, it doesn't know the right
repository location, so try to access network, which results in
timeouts. But at the same time, it invalidate previous cache, which is
what we need.
Do not delay every qubes-dom0-update call by pkcon call.
Perhaps the UpdateVM template should be temporarily switched to the
backup too. That would make it really failsafe. Currently it requires
manual recovery (by setting template of UpdateVM to the backup).
- don't call removed qvm-sync-clock
- use qvm-start --skip-if-running instead of qvm-run ... true, to start
a VM
- update qvm-run options
- use dnf directly, not through compatibility wrapper
This doesn't yet prevent appvms from starting with invalid template during the reinstall, and doesn't deal with the Netvm setting problem.
For issue #2061
Unfortunate side effect (to be solved at Qubes Manager side): it will
block Qubes Manager until all updates are installed (not only updater
launched).
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1511
This would override user changes to the template. Previous method
(Obsoletes: rpm header) doesn't work now, so add explicit exclude list
as yum option
Fixesqubesos/qubes-issues#996
This can be useful for actions like "downgrade", "reinstall" etc.
Needs additional testing if whole distribution upgrade using
"distro-sync" action will work as expected.
