# The package manager is controlled through environment variables.
#
# These can be set in your '.profile' or '/etc/profile.d' to have
# the options apply all the time.
#
# These can also be set in the current shell to have them apply
# only for the current session.
#
# NOTE: The values shown below are the defaults.

# Managing repositories.
#
# This works exactly like '$PATH' (Colon separated).
#
# A list of repositories the package manager will use. You can
# add your own repositories or remove the default ones.

# Force package installation or removal.
#
# This can be used to bypass the dependency checks on installation
# and removal of packages.
#
# Set it to '1' to force.

# Hook into kiss through a script.
#
# This can be used set custom CFLAGS per package, modify builds,
# etc. This environment variable must point to a shellscript.
#
# The script will have the following environment variables set.
#
# $PKG:  Name of the current package .
# $TYPE: The type of hook (valid: pre-build, post-build, build-fail, 
#                                 pre-install, post-install).
# $DEST: The full path to where 'make install' will put the package.
#
# Simple example script:
#
# case $TYPE in
#     pre-build)
#         case $PKG in
#            zlib) export CFLAGS="-Os -static" ;;

# The package manager builds packages inside 'build-$PID/' with '$PID'
# being the package manager's process ID. This allows for multiple
# builds to happen at once.

.SH "Alternatives System"
.
.nf

When a package with conflicts is installed 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: To disable this functionality, set 'KISS_CHOICE=0'.

Example usage:

# 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):

-> kiss i sbase
# More lines...
-> sbase Found conflict (/usr/bin/renice), adding choice
-> sbase Found conflict (/usr/bin/logger), adding choice
-> sbase Found conflict (/usr/bin/flock), adding choice
-> sbase Found conflict (/usr/bin/cal), adding choice
-> sbase Installing package incrementally
-> sbase Installed successfully

# List alternatives.
-> kiss a
-> Alternatives:
# More lines...
sbase /usr/bin/uuencode
sbase /usr/bin/wc
sbase /usr/bin/which
sbase /usr/bin/whoami
sbase /usr/bin/xargs
sbase /usr/bin/yes

# 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
