5.5.8

Let me know if there are any issues. :)

• Environment no longer has PREFIX set (/usr should not be hardcoded anywhere).
• kiss-outdated can now check multiple repositories with one call.
• Changed sha256 code to call the utility once per list of files rather than once per file.
• Stopped hiding sha256 errors.
• Removed find/sort from pkg_etcsums.
• Removed many unneeded instances of [ ].
• Removed strict KISS_SU value list.
• The package manager will now avoid spawning itself when unneeded.
• Removed hardcoded root assumptions from as_root (renamed to as_user).
• Removed hardcoded root assumptions from pkg_etc.
• Use safe copy when installing /etc/ files.
• Optimized list removal by using fnr (saves pointless loops for 100+ items).
• Disallow newlines in command-line arguments.
• Clean up of large portions of the script.
• Unified file installation (/etc/ files now handled during pkg_install_files).
• Removed many unneeded subshells.
• pkg_strip and pkg_fix_deps are now less greedy (they are given a fixed list of paths to search in).
• Moved documentation to this repository so it can be updated at the same time.
• Removed many find calls and replaced them with manifest reads.
• Made version marker code generic and applied it to other parts of the package manager (this allowed for removal of many sed calls and subshells).
• Unified all version logic. All version retrieval goes through the same function now.
• During tarball extraction the manifest is now sorted and duplicate top-level directories are removed. This prevents us (pointlessly) looping thousands of times for larger packages.
• Checksum verification is now only one loop rather than two. It has also become slightly smarter.
• The package manager now aborts when spaces are found in arguments (where applicable).
• Added a hook to retrieve queue information (current package number, total packages).
• Removed removal of charset.alias and .la files, they are now simply excluded from the manifest.
• Package manager now under 1000LOC again.
