# 18/01/2020: This week in KISS (#7)
Lots of interesting changes this week. A big thank you to everyone
involved.
If you have any questions about this post, feel free to join the IRC
channel `#kisslinux` @ freenode.net.

## Git support in the package manager
The package manager now supports Git repositories as sources in the
package system. The syntax is rather simple and the pull request can be
seen here: <https://github.com/kiss-community/kiss/pull/85/files>
Source format:
# git+URL
git+https://github.com/dylanaraps/eiwd
# git+URL#hash
git+https://github.com/dylanaraps/eiwd#4a2d30bd1b053a9f1e4373d17c2ae6f3ccbc4148
Version:
# Simply use git.
git
# Or use a hash if supplied to the source.
4a2d30bd1b053a9f1e4373d17c2ae6f3ccbc4148
## GNU Grep support in the package manager
GNU Grep support has been added to the package manager as a simple means
of achieving performance gains.
Those who value performance over POSIX correctness now have the choice
to install `gnugrep` to speed up various operations in the package
manager.
GNU Grep is super quick compared to other Grep implementations. See this
post by the original author of GNU Grep:
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-August/019310.html>
## Firefox ESR
KISS now tracks Firefox ESR and in addition, binaries are now available
to users by installing the package `firefox-bin`.
The swap was made as Firefox builds (and updates) are monthly,
unpredictable and time consuming both for users and myself.
Rust is also another reason for the change as Firefox releases track the
latest Rust releases and they're a hard two packages to juggle.
Users now have the choice between building Firefox and Rust or
installing a binary provided by yours truly.
## Falkon (and qtwebengine)
The Falkon web browser and qtwebengine are now available in the
repositories as an alternative to Firefox.
I spent the last few days getting grabbing, porting and writing patches
to enable all of this to work on Musl.
And yes, KISS uses the latest Qt and Qtwebengine!
I have personally swapped to Falkon and everything works flawlessly. My
system is now free of GTK, glib and other GNOME software!
A big thank you to those in the IRC providing advice and a big thank you
to [meta-qt5](https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5) for a bulk of the
patches.
## webkit2gtk
Webkit2GTK is now available in the repositories thanks to the work of
the [Carbs Linux](https://carbslinux.org/) developer Cem Keylan and
myself.
Carbs Linux is a distribution based on KISS which aims to take a more
Suckless approach as an operating system.
This enables further browser choice by allowing the use of browsers like
luakit, suckless surf and others.
## KISS ported to aarch64
KISS has been ported to aarch64 by
[jedavies-dev](https://github.com/jedavies-dev) who is also the creator
and maintainer of the ppc64le port.
