Unexpected behaviour you saw

When using Include against a mkosi repo that defines profiles, the profiles cannot be referenced in the config. My expectation would have been to be able to reference them, and that if a profile existed in the config with the same name that would take precedence over the included one.

Used mkosi config

Given an empty directory with https://github.com/systemd/particleos cloned into the particleos directory and the following mkosi.conf

[Include]
Include=particleos

[Config]
Profiles=desktop

mkosi output

`‣ Profile 'desktop' not found in mkosi.profiles/`

[davide125]

Worth noting that it looks like this can be workaround with something like

$ ls -l mkosi.profiles/
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 davide davide 37 Nov 10 15:23 desktop -> ../particleos/mkosi.profiles/desktop/

but that feels a bit hacky to me.

Hmm, this feels like it'd a bit too flexible, I think your solution could actually be OK here. It makes it explicit that you're using a profile from somewhere else compared to explicitly picking that.
