## Alternatives system
When a package with conflicts is installed with `KISS_CHOICE=1`, the conflicting files will be added as "choices" to the alternatives system.
Afterwards, running `kiss a`/`kiss alternatives` will list all of the choices you are able to make. Each line of output with this command is also usable directly as input.
**NOTE** If a package has fewer than 10 conflicting files, the conflicting files will automatically be added to the alternatives system.
Example usage:
```sh
# List alternatives.
-> kiss a
-> Alternatives:
ncurses /usr/bin/clear
ncurses /usr/bin/reset
# Swap to ncurses 'clear'.
-> kiss a ncurses /usr/bin/clear
-> Swapping '/usr/bin/clear' from 'busybox' to 'ncurses'
Password:
# New listing (busybox clear was swapped out).
-> kiss a
-> Alternatives:
busybox /usr/bin/clear
ncurses /usr/bin/reset
```
Example usage (complex):
```sh
-> kiss i sbase
# More lines...
/var/db/kiss/installed/util-linux/manifest:/usr/bin/renice
/var/db/kiss/installed/util-linux/manifest:/usr/bin/logger
/var/db/kiss/installed/util-linux/manifest:/usr/bin/flock
/var/db/kiss/installed/util-linux/manifest:/usr/bin/cal
!> Package 'sbase' conflicts with another package
!> Run 'KISS_CHOICE=1 kiss i sbase' to add conflicts
!> as alternatives.
# There were more than 10 conflicts so the alternatives system
# must be manually enabled for this package.
-> KISS_CHOICE=1 kiss i sbase
# More lines...
-> sbase Found conflict (/usr/bin/renice), adding choice
-> sbase Found conflict (/usr/bin/logger), adding choice

# Swapping in bulk (all of sbase).
# The 'kiss a' command with '-' as an argument will read
# from stdin and use each line as arguments to 'kiss a'.
kiss a | grep ^sbase | kiss a -
# New listing, sbase has replaced busybox utilities.
-> kiss a
-> Alternatives:
# More lines...
busybox /usr/bin/uuencode
busybox /usr/bin/wc
busybox /usr/bin/which
busybox /usr/bin/whoami
busybox /usr/bin/xargs
busybox /usr/bin/yes
# NOTE: Two sbase utilities currently have issues with kiss.
# 'su' and 'tar'. You will need to swap these back to
# 'busybox'.

## Extending the package manager
The `contrib` directory contains a set of simple scripts to extend the package manager. These scripts can be installed through the `kiss-utils` package.
