How to file a helpful issue

The problem you're addressing (if any)

There exists something called qubes-fwupdmgr, but there doesn't appear to be any documentation for it. I'm betting many users don't know:

  • That it exists
  • What it's for
  • Why anyone would want to use it
  • When they should use it
  • What the requirements are
  • How to actually use it etc.

The solution you'd like

Someone who has at least some basic understanding of qubes-fwupdmgr should write some basic documentation and submit it to qubes-doc.

The value to a user, and who that user might be

All Qubes users would have a better chance at understanding qubes-fwupdmgr. Qubes users who would actually benefit from qubes-fwupdmgr would have a chance at recognizing that fact and being able to do something about it.

qubes-fwupdmgr should download firmware updates using configurable dom0 sys-vm. Currently you have to add --whonix manually if you want to use tor.
