A collection of repositories for running Xorg on KISS Linux.

Due to upstream KISS making the switch to wayland, and my reliance on X, I forked the main repo.

Feel free to create Issues and Pull Requests for outdated software!

Structure

• xorg/ - contains the X11 distribution, and other misc software for X
• extra/ - contains the browser (firefox) and media player (mpv)
  • NOTE: You will still need the upstream extra repo!
• community/ - contains useful software that depends on X
  • currently working on saving some of the software that was dropped from kiss-community/community
• xwayland/ - contains Xwayland overrides for sway, wlroots & mesa.
• games/ - contains video games
• xfce4/ - contains the XFCE4 desktop environment
• kde1/ - contains the KDE desktop, version 1

Usage

Just add the directories before the official KISS repos in your KISS_PATH

Example:

KISS_PATH="/path/to/repo/core"
KISS_PATH="${KISS_PATH}:/path/to/kiss-xorg/extra"
KISS_PATH="${KISS_PATH}:/path/to/kiss-xorg/xorg"
KISS_PATH="${KISS_PATH}:/path/to/repo/extra"
...

If using primarily for Xwayland:

KISS_PATH="/path/to/repo/core"
KISS_PATH="${KISS_PATH}:/path/to/kiss-xorg/xwayland"
KISS_PATH="${KISS_PATH}:/path/to/repo/extra"
KISS_PATH="${KISS_PATH}:/path/to/repo/wayland"
KISS_PATH="${KISS_PATH}:/path/to/kiss-xorg/extra"
KISS_PATH="${KISS_PATH}:/path/to/kiss-xorg/xorg"

What's that extra file? (esources)

Since VERSION markers have officially been removed in upstream kiss (as of this PR: https://codeberg.org/kiss-community/kiss/pulls/121 ), esources is a way to continue using the previously valid version markers.

This does require having access to an additional command, namely kiss-echecksum which is available from my personal repo here.

If there is sufficient interest, and no purity spiraling from upstream, I would not mind trying to contribute this utility to the contrib/ folder for kiss.

Bumping versions then has this workflow:

echo "9.99.9 1" > version
kiss echecksum
