In your last tweet https://twitter.com/aimeos/status/907917407045513216 you mention a new Aimeos shop system based on Laravel 5.5
What is the difference between https://github.com/aimeos/aimeos and https://github.com/aimeos/aimeos-laravel ?

The aimeos/aimeos-laravel repository contains the Laravel package that integrates the Aimeos e-commerce components into any (existing) Laravel application.

The aimeos/aimeos repository contains a standalone shop system that is based on aimeos/aimeos-laravel and is very easy to set up (just answer the questions after "composer create-project"). We think about integrating a CMS package into the standalone version and maybe some other things that are useful or wished by users. At the end, you will hopefully get a standalone shop application like Magento but 10 times better (Laravel as its base is a perfect start) :-)

Sure, it uses the same package as if you add it to your existing application and "composer update" will install the latest released version
