Currently the package in title is "everything but the kitchen sink" type of package. It contains at least:

  • qrexec-agent
  • all kind of qrexec services (file copy, etc)
  • all kind of system configuration, including sudoers, sysctl (disable tcp timestamps etc), NetworkManager etc
  • various networking scripts
  • handling of dom0 updates
  • updates proxy stuff
  • integration with GUI file managers (nautilus, dolphin etc)
  • ...

Full list of files in Debian: https://gist.github.com/marmarek/30f089c595832a547af8ab034cc7b8e0
Full list of files in Fedora: https://gist.github.com/marmarek/532170f5e7ae995b33d33d6f85cde040

Splitting it is required for more specialized/minimal templates.

This is somehow related to #2572 - currently qubes-core-agent package is (also) used to install unrelated packages in VM.

Some ideas from discussion:

  • have qubes-core-agent-nautilus instead of qubes-nautilus
  • split dom0 updates and updates proxy

In Fedora it makes little sense, but in Debian it allows to avoid a lot
of dependencies. So split in both, to keep it simple.

This will save a lot of dependencies if networking is not needed in VMs
based on given template. Thanks to updates proxy over qrexec, template
itself do not need to have network configured too.

Adjust for package split in Qubes 4.0

qubes-core-agent and qubes-gui-agent were split into multiple packages.
Keep the base on in -dependencies meta-packages, add others into

rpm,deb: split qrexec-agent into separate subpackage
000a93e 
While it doesn't make sense to install qubes-core-agent without qrexec,
it may make sense to do the otherway around - install just
qrexec-agent without all the qrexec services and configuration. For
example on some pre-installed system.
