More control over installed packages

[kromsam]

When I installed omarchy, i used the 'full' installation, not the base. Because I wanted to experience the full vision of the project.

Soon I realized there were some packages i dont really need, such as 1password and typora. I have my own software for that.

I could remove these packages, but they would be reinstalled in an omarchy-update.

Is it an idea to come up with a convention such that users can override installed packages?

It would be awesome if, just like with the configs, users can make some changes to the installed packages on top of omarchy, in a way that they can still just update.

you can try the "bare" install if you haven't heard about it!

it seems omarchy-updates ignores that you came from the base install.

plus: a lot of the packages that i use, get configurations from omarchy that i want to keep.

so if there's a package that omarchy 'ships with' that i want to use, id rather install it the omarchy way, and not manually.

@Ashur-D well, there is no such thing as the bare install anymore..

being able to permanently remove some packages becomes even more important id reckon

We don't reinstall packages you have removed in the next update. You can just remove packages you don't need.

ah okay, i had this reinstall behaviour before. just did a fresh 2.0 install, will give an update if it happens again.
