We got deployiso being path independent, it can be run from anywhere.

Do we want buildiso to detect the iso-profiles, so it can be run from anywhere too?

Would be nice to have, but how do you search for profiles and save their location for the next time?

We would be searching for a unique file in the iso-profiles, eg .manjaro-tools.
However, this doesn't play out well if we have say sonar in $HOME as well.
We could save path in new user config location.

Ok, then step by step. It doesn't have to be in 0.9.15. There is no rush for it.

I agree, would be great to have! For me it would be sufficient to have a default location for iso-profiles and the option to change the path in manjaro-tools.conf manually.

I got a working buildiso being path independent.

We should think about how to detect or tell buildiso what iso-profiles directory it is supposed to use.
The easiest would be to configure it in a variable, but I think a detection is better, that stores the path in a file, eg in $HOME/.config/manjaro-tools/iso-profiles.conf

Some thoughts.

In order to detect iso profiles repos, we need a consistent naming for repo additions.

eg
manjaro-iso-profiles
netrunner-iso-profiles
sonar-iso-profiles

I had some test, where detected repo paths are written to a $HOME/.config/manjaro-tools/$repo.conf

The difficulty is to set $repo without a consistent naming.

If we have a repo name, we could add it to manjaro-tools.conf, ie repo=manjaro, repo=netrunner, repo=sonar

Ok, it now also works with any repo name.

Upon buildiso run, it tries to detect iso-profiles repos in $HOME, we can have it use /usr/share/manjaro-tools/iso-profiles if nothing is found in $HOME.
If found, it writes a $reponame.conf with run_dir=$path that is sourced.
To select repo, it has to be defined in manjaro-tools.conf.

I am tempted to merge iso branch in devel branch, since we don't use new repo structure yet, and both branches require new repo structure.
