So, here is an update.
Right now it’s possible to install mautic through composer AND patch it AND update it through the following command. It is also possible to patch mautic. See the composer.json from the mautic-project repository.
“composer update mautic/core --with-dependencies”
How to test it yourselves?
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer create-project nickveenhof/mautic-project:3.x-dev my-local-mautic-folder --no-interaction

How to proceed? I’m not sure why, but the config_override.php does not want to take effect from the start. When it is defined in local.php it does work but it seems silly that this is needed. I would love some help understanding config_override.php and why I can’t set the cache, tmp & other folders more easily. To reproduce this, use the command above, and see that even though the config_override.php is in the correct spot, the cache is being built up from app/…/var/cache instead of the configured app/…/…/var/cache.
