Notice for qubes-tunnel testing

[tasket]

Issues #3503 #3520

[andrewdavidwong]

I'm slightly worried about the wording here:

and is recommended for most users on Qubes 3.2 and 4.0

@marmarek, any opinion?

[tasket]

I chose that wording because I feel that attempts to use the new scripts (in service already under different naming) will lead to fewer issues for users than the existing method... despite the testing status.

But please feel free to re-word it as you see fit.

[tasket]

Also wondering, since qubes-tunnel appears to be more of a direct contribution (per Patrick's indication in #3503 ) instead of a 'Qubes-contrib' optional package, whether it should just be added to the Qubes testing repositories.

Is https://github.com/tasket/qubes-doc really the correct URL?

[tasket]

oops... that should be 'tasket/qubes-tunnel'

I guess the reason for my uncertainty is that I don't know what our official position regarding that package is. It seems somewhat strange to recommend something from a non-official source to all users. I'll leave it for @marmarek to decide.

Also for @marmarek to decide. If it's a contrib package, though, we should make sure to follow our procedure for such packages:

For reference, Marek and Patrick comments have it as a direct Qubes inclusion:
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3503 (comment)

I was just wondering if qubes-testing was a better repository in this case. Then it wouldn't seem as strange to recommend it (or to use wording asking users to help test).

Closing this for now due to the prolonged lack of activity. If you believe this is a mistake, or if anyone would like this PR to remain open, please leave a comment, and we'll be happy to reopen this. Thank you.
