This is related to the tarball and default repository location
changes which leave KISS_PATH unset /by default/.
There's no real reason for the package manager to die here. When
no repositories are enabled (or no package is found in KISS_PATH),
the package manager uses /var/db/kiss/installed as a fallback.

This replaces the package based exemption with one based on C and
POSIX shared library names, removing the hardcoded reference to
musl and adding support for more C libraries.
This needs testing with non-musl systems. Specifically, the
dependency fixer which runs post-build in 'kiss build' should /not/
display anything related to your C library. If it does, please open
an issue.
These files are unneeded and become a source of errors when an
autotools build references a non-existing .la file. This was the
case with a recent update to freetype-harfbuzz.
The files are required by libtool to do libtool things, however
libtool works just fine without them. These files are safe to
remove according to upstream and other distributions have already
been doing this for a while.

It is recommended that you remove all .la files from your system
if manually updating the package manager to the latest version.
Running 'kiss update' will automatically handle this for you.
The following script will be run on post-install to clean up the
.la files. This can also be run manually. Executing this script
will do nothing if the system is already clean.
#!/bin/sh
find "$KISS_ROOT/usr/lib" \
! -type d \
-name \*.la \
-exec rm -f -- {} +
find "$KISS_ROOT/var/db/kiss/installed" \
! -type d \
-name manifest \
-exec sed -i '/.*\.la$/d' {} +
This commit also brings back the removal of charset.alias which was
a part of the default KISS_HOOK prior. It makes much more sense for
it to live alongside this change.
The package manager will no longer clean up any other pre-existing
cache directories at exit.
- Fixes a portability issue by removing usage of /proc.
- Fixes issues when the user has KISS_PID set.
- Outside of the realm of what the utility should do.
This adds support for relative paths when passing tarballs to kiss
directly and removes a prevents a misleading and confusing error
message from appearing (a false 'file not found').
This commit adds KISS_STRIP to allow stripping to be controlled at
runtime for all staged packages. This is also handy when temporarily
needing debugging symbols for a given piece of software.
Defaults to '1', set to '0' to disable stripping.
Example:
KISS_STRIP=0 kiss b zlib
This never truly worked as the post-install message would always
ensure that file size is '> 0' despite there being nothing to show
the user.
We now store the output to a variable, ensure it isn't empty and
go on our merry way.
*** Background
Liberation Mono, which is the "default" font set in the core repo, does not support the "✓" glyph.
*** Change
Suggested removing unsupported glyph(s).
*** Alternative Solution
Add additional or patched font to support more glyphs or add alternative font set (e.g. Terminus) to main repository for better unicode and glyph support.
