Hello.  
in `.julia` folder there is another folder named `packages`.  
Consider two computer systems totally Identical. These PCs have the same version of Julia, Totally identical in every aspect. On system **A** I have a set of packages, for example, **Pkg1, Pkg2** and **Pkg3** and their dependencies. On system **B** I have also a set of packages, for example, **Pkg1** (same as system **A** ) **Pkg4** and **Pkg5** and their dependencies. Now the question is:  
Is there a safe way to merge the system **A** and system **B** packages folder?  
And if this is _safe_ what should I change after that?

I think you will have the manually “merge” the `Manifest.toml` and `Project.toml` besides copying all the folders. IMHO, it’s not worth it.
