The package system was built specifically for KISS and employs a UNIX-like file model. Instead of the typical shell script with variables, arrays and functions; this system uses easily parseable plain text files.
The data in each file is separated by lines and spaces. The repository and packages can be manipulated and read using any programming language. The build script (for each package) can be written in whatever language you desire.
When a package is added to `public` it is assumed that the **first** committer is now the maintainer of said package. The other three repositories are maintained by the KISS developers themselves.
Ensure that the package builds successfully on your system before creating a pull request. If for some reason it **does not**, open an issue if assistance is needed.
Pull requests should only contain the new package and any dependencies which do not yet exist in any of the repositories.
## Linting
All package `build` and `post-install` scripts are subject to checks using `shellcheck`. Packages must pass the linter to be accepted into the repository. Exceptions can be made using `shellcheck disable=SCXXXX` with good reason.
