Manjaro Packages in Arch Linux?

Is Manjaro packages compatible with Arch Linux? I know that Manjaro is based on Arch Linux and also uses pacman and PKGBUILD configs. But I haven't tried making any packages from Manjaro on Arch yet, I thought better ask here first to not screw things up on production desktop. Thanks.

Theoretically you might be able to install a .pkg file, built with makepkg for other distros, but that will break things at some point so don't ever do it.

Why would you need to do this in the first place?

What package(s) are you talking about.  There are 5 packages with "manjaro" in the name in the AUR.

You can install *anything* in arch assuming you have a proper PKGBUILD for it.

Not a Pacman Issue, moving to NC...
