Updating `kiss` will now bootstrap the new package manager, so you don't +have to manually edit your system. If you don't like the idea of this, you can +look up the `post-install` script on `core/kiss` and apply the changes manually. + +You will also need to rename your KISS_* variables to CPT_*. So, KISS_PATH +becomes CPT_PATH. + +The rework changes the previous commands on the package manager into standalone +tools, and move the package manager functions to a library. This makes it easier +for a user to import functions and variables from the package manager, and +extend the package manager with their own intended way. Previously this required +ugly hacks and workarounds to use the package manager functions.

It is now _almost_ complete. These docs can be installed to +your system for online viewing. I will also add a documentation crawler similar +to how werc[1] works (but as an offline viewer). You can find `carbs-docs` from +the repository. Currently, the documentation lacks but I will be adding new +stuff. These will solely be distribution specific documentation and will not be +a wiki-like source.
