### How to build the packages to install
You will first build the `qubes-core-admin-addon-network-server` RPM.
To build this package, you will need to use a `chroot` jail containing
a Fedora installation of the exact same release as your `dom0` (Fedora 25
for Qubes release 4.0, Fedora 32 for Qubes release 4.1).
a Fedora installation of the exact same release as your `dom0` (Fedora 37
for Qubes 4.2). You can do this using `toolbox` (for maximum safety
within a disposable qube):
Copy the source of the package to your `chroot`. Then start a shell in
your `chroot`, and type `make rpm`. You may have to install some packages
in your `chroot` -- use `dnf install git rpm-build make coreutils tar gawk findutils systemd systemd-rpm-macros`
to get the minimum dependency set installed.
```
dnf install -y toolbox
toolbox create -r 37
toolbox enter fedora-toolbox-37
# Bam! You have a shell in an isolated Fedora 37 instance now.
```
Once built, in the source directory you will find the RPM built for the
exact release of Qubes you need.
Within the toolbox, all your normal files from your home directory are
visible. Change into the directory that contains this source code,
then type `make rpm`. You may have to install some packages within your
toolbox -- use `dnf install git rpm-build make coreutils tar gawk findutils systemd systemd-rpm-macros`
to get the minimum dependency set installed. Don't worry -- nothing within
the toolbox affects
Alternatively, you may first create a source RPM using `make srpm` on your
regular workstation, then use `mock` to rebuild the source RPM produced
in the source directory, using a Fedora release compatible with your `dom0`.
Once built, in the source directory you will find the
`qubes-core-admin-addon-network-server` RPM built for your dom0.
To build the `qubes-network-server` RPM, you can use a DisposableVM running
the same Fedora release as your NetVM. Build said package as follows:
