Shouldn’t the contents be exactly the same? The onion repo is missing a few builds of the Whonix templates including the most recent, and missing the new Kicksecure template entirely, placing it at least two weeks out of date.

I think this means that users can’t install new community templates over Tor if they’re using the more privacy-hygenic onion address. [*]

Note: https://yum.qubes-os.org/r4.2/templates-itl/rpm/ and http://yum.qubesosfasa4zl44o4tws22di6kepyzfeqv3tg4e3ztknltfxqrymdad.onion/r4.2/templates-itl/rpm/ are proper mirrors, it’s only the community repo that is out of date.

I can open an issue for this- just wanting to verify my understanding is right first.

Update: the new whonix and kicksecure templates are now present at the onion URL.

I dont know if this is a good start to the day, or not.
I’ll opt for it being a good start.

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.
