marmarek added a comment to T709: port Whonix package build process to Qubes package build process.

To build a package with qubes-builder, you need to add Makefile.builder file with just one line: DEBIAN_BUILD_DIRS := debian. This will tell qubes-builder that given repository contains Debian package.
Alternatively, if that would be too much of a problem, it should be easy to add an option that do auto detection (probably just looks for debian directory).

There's been research showing that trying to hide CPU information in a virtualizer is futile.

It will still depend on the user looking out for this indicator. Easiest is probably something like notify-send with a high duration time so a user will see it and click it away. Could be made part of whonixcheck or maybe use whonixcheck itself instead.

virt-sparsify solution dropped because needs booting the image with qemu-system (not clean, to much unknown consequences, see attached ouptut).

Hmm, odd it did not work for you. I tested it with the whonix build script and also the upgrade from 13 to 14 with the local packages repo. Both produced the correct GRUB menu with all options.
What did you do, just copying 11_linux to /etc/grub.d/ and running update-grub I guess?

Packages would be: live-boot, live-config-systemd, live-config-initramfs-tools, live-tools.
I'm wondering if then there really needs to be an extra package for the other files. Currently only the apparmor config for the new home and alias as well as the grub config file would be in there. I think the apparmor related edits could also be merged with the files in the apparmor-profile-anondist. There are some packages for grub but they all have a quite specific name. So either make a dedicated grub-live package or make the live patch package as before or merge the grub config file somewhere else.

A "normal" live system with overlayfs should be possible without patches. We would mostly need to pull in some debian live packages.
Copying the whole filesystem to RAM would not work without patches. Of course there is no possibility to use device mapper though maybe most end users won't care about that.
Some minor edits to the grub config file and apparmor stuff would be required.
