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.
