+# 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.

+# 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.

+# 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.

+# You can override this and _know_ the location beforehand with the
+# below environment variable. 'KISS_PID=test' will build the package

-KISS is written in POSIX `sh` though each shell has its own set of quirks. Below are the currently known to work and tested shells (as `/bin/sh`).
