[manjaro-dev] [sonar] cleaned up files

hi
Ah, I think I understand. What do I do with programs that are common to
both profiles? For example, we use soundconverter in both the gnome and
mate profiles for converting audio and stripping out the video from
video files leaving the audio. Should I create a file, something like
Packages-Software, and put those packages in there? That way the mate
basic profile wouldn't have a packages-software file so would stay slim?
I think I understand the point of all of this now and want to work with
everyone instead of insisting on doing things my way. Where do files
like you guys' samba config, our orca settings, etc go? In the overlays?
Would it be possible to murge the printer drivers, etc into manjaro's
packages so that all profiles pull them in? Except of course for command
line profiles they wouldn't need them. I'm trying to avoid duplication
of effort.
Thanks
