This is done by exploiting the fact that home files will be copied if
the executable bit of the source file and the target file is
different. This should be considered a hack until some nicer solution
is found.
By sanitizing the home file name in the derivation name, the home file
name is no longer exposed to the naming restrictions for nix store
paths.
For example, it is now possible to define home files with spaces in
their names without providing a target or source attribute.
This removes the deprecated use of `xsession.windowManager` as a
string.
This commit also adjusts the xmonad module to become a full module.
I.e., the backwards compatibility hack was removed.
Forcing fpath to contain unique values increases startup speed by
eliminating extra work of processing duplicated folders.
In addition, it increases startup time when zsh is enabled in both
system and home configuration due to having the same fpath value
between different compinit calls.

Fixes the error

When enabled this module will cause Home Manager to manage the user
environment XDG variables. When disabled, then Home Manager will use
the XDG variables taken from the user environment.
Before this path would point to the modules path. Using the project
root instead makes it possible to set `<home-manager>` to point to a
downloadable archive of Home Manager. This should make it
significantly easier to install and keep Home Manager up to date.
To match this change we also deprecate the Home Manager option
programs.home-manager.modulesPath
and instead ask users to use
programs.home-manager.path
Note, we still pull in the user's `PATH` in case the user has defined
their own activation blocks that depend on additional tools.
Eventually this will be deprecated and removed.
See #99.
The new options allow some control over automounting, notifications,
and the tray icon.
This commit also changes the defaults to automatically mount new
devices, udiskie was previously told not to automount. The change in
behavior is to closer match the default options.
This option gathers basic Vim options into a single place. The idea is
to allow many options without making the Home Manager documentation
too verbose.
This also deprecates the options `programs.vim.lineNumbers` and
`programs.vim.tabSize`.
Fixes#69.
The intention is for the `xsession.windowManager` option to be
available for full modules in the future. The option
`xsession.windowManager.command` should now be used to specify the
window manager startup command.
This adds a readonly package option which will be set to the resulting
configured vim package, so it can be refered to by other configuration.
An example would be home.sessionVariables.EDITOR =
config.programs.vim.package + "/bin/vim".
Same motivation as in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/28378.
zsh.initExtra parameter can be used by external modules which can
redefine user aliases. This change will give user-defined aliases
the highest priority.
This command allows the user to examine the news items generated by
the news module. See #52.
Many thanks to @nonsequitur and @uvNikita for suggestions and
improvements.
1. It slows down the initial start: it takes around 2s at first launch,
and around 0.25s for the following launches;
2. It seems to be redundant since just installing zsh package gives
working completions with correct $fpath set.
Technically not necessary but it was a bit silly to leave out this
important directory from the generation directory. This also makes it
more convenient to browse the installed packages after a
`home-manager build`.
