The Template Builder
======================
1) First, create a clean image of Fedora Linux install. You can use the fedoraize_image
script for this:
fedorize_image <image> <file-with-packets-lists>
NOTE: The fedorize_image script can be also used to update an image -- it
automatically assumes the update mode if the <image> already exists.
2) Update symlinks in rpms_to_install_XXX/ so that they point to the current version
of Qubes-specific rpms to install you want to use (e.g. qubes-gui-vm, etc).
3) Now, you can "qubeize" the image. This must be done as root. E.g.:
# ./qubeize_image <img> <template-name>
4) Make sure the symlinks in vm_kernels_XXX/ point to correct kernel and initramfs
files you want to use for the template:
4a) In order to prepare a patched initramfs file, use the
patch_appvm_initramfs.sh program that is installed as part of
qubes-core-dom0.rpm:
# /usr/lib/qubes/patch_appvm_initramfs.sh \
<original_initrafms> \
<filename_for_patched_initramfs> \
/abs_path/vm-initramfs-patches/qubes_cow_setup.sh
5) Finally, build the Template RPM (do it as normal user, not root), e.g.:
$./build_rpm <name>
The resulting rpm is stored in rpm/noarch directory.
