How does each operator work?
kiss build pkg
Kiss's build
operator handles a package from its source code to the installable .tar.gz
file. Sources are downloaded, checksums are verified, dependencies are checked and the package is compiled then packaged.
kiss checksum pkg
Kiss's checksum
operator generates the initial checksums for a package from every source in the sources
file.
kiss install pkg
Kiss's install
operator takes the built .tar.gz
file and installs it in the system. This is as simple as removing the old version of the package (if it exists) and unpacking the archive at /
.
kiss remove pkg
Kiss's remove
operator uninstalls a package from your system. Files and directories in /etc
are untouched. Support for exclusions will come as they are needed.
kiss list
or kiss list pkg
Kiss's list
operator lists the installed packages and their versions. Giving list
an argument will check if a singular package is installed.
kiss update
Kiss's update
operator compares the repository versions of packages to the installed database versions of packages. Any mismatch in versions is considered a new upgrade from the repository.
The update
mechanism doesn't do a git pull
of the repository. This must be done manually beforehand and is intentional. It allows the user to git pull
selectively. You can slow down the distribution's package updates by limiting pulling to a week behind master for example.
