Strictly speaking, nothing forces you to use git. Remote repositories and git based sources will simply become unusable. [2] There is no standard utility for the generation of sha256 checksums. While openssl is listed above, the package manager also supports sha256sum, sha256, shasum, and digest as fallbacks. [3] The tar command has no standard! The POSIX equivalent is "pax" though this has its own issues (-s is unclear about links). Our usage of tar is merely, cf, xf and tf. Our usage of tar cannot become any more basic than it is now. Portability should not be a concern. Tested tar implementations include: busybox, toybox, sbase, OpenBSD, GNU and libarchive (though all tar implementations should work in theory). [4] The first three compression methods are required as 99% of package sources use them as the tarball compression method. Nothing as of yet uses zstd in the official repositories. [5] A privilege escalation utility is only needed when installing packages to a directory owned by another user (user -> root) or (root -> user). [6] If missing, binary stripping and/or the dependency fixer will be disabled. [003] Configuration ________________________________________________________________________________ The package manager has no configuration file and no changes need to be made to the system prior to its use. While there is no configuration file, this does not mean that there is no possibility for configuration. The package manager can be configured via the use of environment variables. +----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Variable | Description | +----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | KISS_CHK | Which utility to use when checksumming sources. | | | Valid: openssl, sha256sum, sha256, shasum, digest. | | | | | KISS_CHOICE | Set to '0' to disable the alternatives system and error on | | | any detected file conflicts. | | | | | KISS_COLOR | Enable/Disable colors. Set to '0' to disable colors. | | | Color is otherwise disabled when output is not a terminal. | | | | | KISS_COMPRESS | Compression method to use for built package tarballs. | | | Valid: gz (default), bz2, lzma, lz, xz, zst. | | | | | KISS_DEBUG | Keep temporary directories around for debugging purposes. | | | Set to '1' to enable. | | | | | KISS_ELF | Which readelf command to use. | | | Valid: readelf (default), readelf-*, ldd. | | | | | KISS_FORCE | Force installation/removal of packages by bypassing | | | dependency checks, etc. Set to '1' to enable. | | | | | KISS_GET | Which utility to use when downloading sources. | | | Valid: aria2c, axel, curl, wget, wget2. | | | | | KISS_HOOK | Hook into the package manager. A colon separated list of | | | absolute paths to executable files. | | | | | KISS_KEEPLOG | Keep build logs around for successful builds and not just | | | failing ones. Set to '1' to enable. | | | | | KISS_PATH | List of repositories. This works exactly like '$PATH' | | | (a colon separated list of absolute paths). | | | | | KISS_PROMPT | Skip all prompts. Set to '0' to say 'yes' to all prompts | | | from the package manager. | | | | | KISS_ROOT | Where installed packages will go. Can be used to install | | | packages to somewhere other than '/'. | | | | | KISS_STRIP | Enable/Disable package stripping globally. | | | Set to '0' to disable. | | | | | KISS_SU | Force usage of a different sudo tool. | | | NOTE: Tool must support sudo-like arguments. | | | | | KISS_TMPDIR | Temporary directory for builds. Can be set to a tmpfs so | | | builds happen in memory. | | | | +----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ [004] Package Manager Hooks ________________________________________________________________________________ KISS' package manager is extensible via hooks which fire at various different places inside the utility. Hooks allow the user to modify behavior, add new features or conditionally do things on a per-package basis. --[005] Usage ------------------------------------------------------------------ This setting is controlled by the '$KISS_HOOK' environment variable which takes a colon separated list of absolute file paths to executables. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | export KISS_HOOK=$HOME/.local/bin/kiss-hook:/path/to/other/hook | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ --[006] List of hooks ---------------------------------------------------------- Each hook is executed in the order it appears in KISS_HOOK and is given its own environment/arguments accordingly. The hooks are documented as follows. +---------------+--------+----------+--------------------+-------------------+ | hook | arg1 | arg2 | arg3 | arg4 | +---------------+--------+----------+--------------------+-------------------+ | | | | | | | build-fail | Type | Package | Build directory | | | post-build | Type | Package | DESTDIR | | | post-install | Type | Package | Installed database | | | post-package | Type | Package | Tarball | | | post-source | Type | Package | Verbatim source | Resolved source | | post-update | Type | [7] | | | | pre-build | Type | Package | Build directory | | | pre-extract | Type | Package | DESTDIR | | | pre-install | Type | Package | Extracted package | | | pre-remove | Type | Package | Installed database | | | pre-source | Type | Package | Verbatim source | Resolved source | | pre-update | Type | [7] [8] | | | | queue-status | Type | Package | Number in queue | Total in queue | | | | | | | +---------------+--------+----------+--------------------+-------------------+ [7] The -update hooks start in the current repository. In other words, you can operate on the repository directly or grab the value from '$PWD'. [8] The second argument of pre-update is '0' if the current user owns the repository and '1' if they do not. In the latter case, privilege escalation is required to preserve ownership. [007] Package Manager Extensions ________________________________________________________________________________ Anything in the user's '$PATH' which matches the glob 'kiss-*' will be directly usable via the package manager. For example, 'kiss-size' is also usable as 'kiss size' (and even 'kiss si') (the shortest available alias). The detected 'kiss-*' utilities will appear in the package manager's help-ext output with the second line in the script acting as a doc-string. Example help output: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | kiss help-ext | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | -> Installed extensions (kiss-* in $PATH) | | -> chroot Enter a kiss chroot | | -> depends Display a package's dependencies | | -> export Installed package to tarball | | -> fork Fork a package into the current directory | | -> help Read KISS documentation | | -> link Link a repo file to another repo | | -> maintainer Find the maintainer of a package | | -> manifest Display all files owned by a package | | -> new Create a boilerplate package | | -> orphans List orphaned packages | | -> outdated Check repository packages for updates | | -> owns Check which package owns a file | | -> preferred Lists the owners of all files with conflicts | | -> revdepends Packages which depend on package | | -> repo-orphans List packages which aren't present in any repository | | -> size Show the size on disk for a package | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ________________________________________________________________________________ Dylan Araps (C) 2019-2021 The registered trademark Linux(R) is used pursuant to a sublicense from the Linux Foundation, the exclusive licensee of Linus Torvalds, owner of the mark on a worldÂwide basis.
