Thanks for raising this BUT it is somewhat controversial and will definitely steer some opinions. Firstly, if this is the way forward then to keep things in line I'd suggest to make all profiles use their dedicated groups if available otherwise there is going to be a lot of inconsistencies. Looking at the included packages https://archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/plasma/ this may somewhat overlap and maybe conflict with existing settings, such as I'm not against it as it would remove the endless discussions of which packages to install and which are not needed as archinstall just pushes that responsibility then to the packaging maintainers (which will not be pleased as @Torxed pointed out to me in the past :) ) |

This can also probably be closed using smaller in #4076 and the rest is handled by archinst's other features |

Thanks for the update on the profile! I’ll close this PR and its related issue |

I'm reopening this PR as a (possible) alternative to #4336 NOTE: this PR requires a package group dependency backend that addresses package group installation according to users' needs, hence why I've only reopened it as solely a draft (I'm unable to set this backend up as I lack the python proficiency.) If this backend is implemented I'll allow this PR to be un-drafted and ultimately pulled. (see #4392) |
This should make the profile more in line with others that also use package groups
