1.16.0

A new version for KISS is available. I haven't made a release message since 1.14.1, so this will recap all the changes.

Changes and additions

• Reverted to rsync for installation method.
• Added kiss-which, a tool like which but for KISS packages.
• Added kiss-changelog, which can be used to review the git log of a package in a oneline.
• Made sed calls POSIX.
• kiss now accepts uncompressed tarballs for installation.
• kiss now uses a message queue system. Read more about it below

Fixes

• Made a compatibility fix for ksh colour output.
• Made a compatibility fix on Makefile.
• Fixed an installation issue where kiss would look for KISS_ROOT inside the package contents for the manifest instead of the default database location.

Message Queue

kiss will now read message files in the repositories for showing plaintext messages to the user. Those messages will be outputted after the installation of all packages. This means that messages that used to be in a post-install script will not be lost if there is another package to build/install/update.

Those messages will be shown with cat. So the message files should be plaintext.
