# 09/02/2020: This week in KISS (#10)

More package manager goodies this week.

## Package Manager build hooks

It is now possible to hook into specific "events" in the package
manager with a script. Right now only `pre-build` and `post-build` are
supported though I expect to see this list expand as users need them.

The `KISS_HOOK` environment variable takes the path to a shellscript
which is then executed with three additional environment variables
defined. Rather than needing a separate script per event, a single
script is all that is required.

The following three environment variables are defined:

-   `$PKG`: The name of the package.
-   `$TYPE`: The event type (valid: pre-build, post-build).
-   `$DEST`: The path to where 'make install', etc will put the
    package.

A simple script to set different `CFLAGS` for specific flags could look
as follows.

    #!/bin/sh

    case $TYPE in
        pre-build)
            case $PKG in
               zlib) export CFLAGS="-Os -static" ;;
               curl) export CFLAGS="-O3" ;;
            esac
        ;;

        post-build)
            # post-build code here.
        ;;
    esac

This paves the way for finer tuning of compilation settings for LTO and
more aggressive compiler options. See: [/r/kisslinux
post](https://old.reddit.com/r/kisslinux/comments/f09c9k/aggressive_compiler_optimizations_under_kiss_linux/)

## Smarter `/etc/` handling

The package manager now performs a 3-way "handshake" to determine how
it should handle the installation of files in `/etc`. In short, when a
file cannot be overwritten due to user modifications it is installed as
`$file.new`.

This is very similar to how Arch Linux handles `/etc` and it's a really
nice way of doing things.

## KISS_AUDIT

A new opt-in feature has been added which will open a scrollable `diff`
of every modified file for a system update. This was implemented to
allow users to *easily* get a deeper insight as to what will happen
during updates.

The repositories themselves *are* `git` repositories so this is simply a
`git diff` call post-fetch.

To enable this feature set `KISS_AUDIT` to `1`.

## GCC static-pie fix

Our GCC builds enable
[PIE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-independent_code) by
default though this wasn't applied when compiling statically. A patch
was submitted by [Owen Rafferty](https://github.com/ioraff) which fixes
this issue.

To revert to the previous behavior the following `$CFLAGS` can be used
`-fno-pie -no-pie`.

## Changes to non-root Xorg

Our default non-root Xorg configuration required the user be in the
`input` group to function correctly. This is no longer a requirement and
you may now remove yourself from the group.

Instead, our Xorg is now `setgid input` which limits the permissions to
`/dev/input` solely to Xorg. Any applications spawned under Xorg will
not be able to read `/dev/input`.

This is a nicer and more secure default configuration.

## GNU tar and BSD tar (libarchive) support added to the package manager

These two `tar` implementations are now supported in the package manager
further reducing the dependence on `busybox`. I have found these to be
faster than busybox's `tar` for those large source tarballs.
