Specifically, avoid duplicate remove duplicate slashes in the
`news-read-ids` file path.
Also quote the use of `newsReadIdsFile` to reduce problems with
potential spaces.
Instead of an error
line 958: $1: unbound variable
we now emit an error such as
missing argument for --cores
Note, this is not perfect. In many cases you still get sub-optimal
error messages.
When using the `init` sub-command, it is now possible to set the Home
Manager and Nixpkgs input URLs. Note, for now these options are
considered experimental.
This adds a Boolean option `uninstall`. When enabled this option will
reset side-effecting configurations to their "empty" state. The intent
is that this will cause the activation script to remove all managed
files and packages.
Doing it this way should hopefully be more robust than the previous
solution. It also allows a somewhat more convenient uninstall process
when using Flakes; put `uninstall = true` in your existing
configuration and then do a switch.
Also add simple uninstall test in CI test job.
If `nix.settings.use-xdg-base-directories` is true, the
`~/.nix-profile` directory may not exist, and `home.profileDirectory`
should be checked instead.

We only need the Home Manager path variables when performing a few
operations, so only set the variables for those operations.
This avoids problems on fresh installations, where no profile
directory exists.
Fixes#4403
This removes the hard-coded fallback Home Manager paths. Specifically
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/nixpkgs/home-manager
and
"$HOME/.nixpkgs/home-manager"
Use `@HOME_MANAGER_PATH@` if it has been provided and points to
something that exists. Warn the user if it does not point to
something.
If we have not been provided with a `@HOME_MANAGER_PATH@` that exists,
then for both hard-coded paths show a warning if something exists
where the paths are pointing.
This no longer attempts to use either of the hard-coded paths as
fallback for the Home Manager path.
Nix interprets a path-like URI as a git repository if any of the path's
parents is a git repository. Since home-manager uses a default flake URI
of ~/.config/nixpkgs/flake.nix, if you have a git repository as your
home directory and a '*' .gitignore it leads to the following problems:
evaluating derivation 'git+file:///Users/dongcarl?dir=.config%2fnixpkgs#homeConfigurations."dongcarl".activationPackage'
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
.config
This is solved by explicitly specifying the `path:` URI type prefix for
the default flake URI argument.
In 176e455 the order between the action of `-I` parameters getting
added to `EXTRA_NIX_PATH` and the action of a static path getting
added to `EXTRA_NIX_PATH` was reversed, also reversing the order of
`-I` parameters and the static `-I home-manager=...` leading to the
static `-I home-manager=...` to always come before any of the `-I`
parameters to later calls to Nix commands.
This made it impossible to override the static Home Manager path when
calling the home-manager tool with `-I home-manager=...`. This was
previously possible.
Before this commit, running the hasFlakeSupport function causes an
error message
error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; use
'--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to override
when the Nix installation does not support the nix tool. The error
message should not be visible to the user since its just part of the
Flake support check.
If the user runs a recent Nix version that places per-user profiles in
`$XDG_STATE_DIR/nix/profiles`, then migrate the home-manager profile
there.
Also clean up `setupVars` a bit.
The init command is essentially the old install script but integrated
into the home-manager tool. This simplifies things slightly since we
can use the existing code infrastructure.
The init command is Nix flake aware in the sense that, if we detect
that the user's Nix setup supports flakes, then we also create an
initial `flake.nix` file.
Finally, we update the installation instructions for the Nix flakes
standalone setup to use the new init command.
Zsh completion update provided by Anund <anundm@gmail.com>.
This changes the default configuration location for Home Manager
configurations from
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nixpkgs
to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager
The old location is still supported but using it will trigger a
warning message.
Fixes#3640
Specifically, if the global per-user profiles path do not exist and we
cannot create it during the activation, then place our profile in the
Home Manager data directory. We prefer to use the global location,
though, since it makes it visible to `nix-collect-garbage`.
This is intended to improve compatibility with Nix version 2.14 and
later, which no longer creates the per-user directories.
Also, use the Home Manager data directory to manage the gcroot for the
current generation. It does not have to sit in the global per-user
gcroots directory since it should never be eligible for GC.
This flag is useful to force Nix to re-fetch cached flakes. Without it,
you cannot deploy from a non-local flake in quick succession, since the
caching causes the flake to not be re-fetched.
When building from a flake, `nix build` hides the build output by
default, with a `-L`/`--print-build-logs` option to show it. Pass this
option along from `home-manager` if the user provides it.

Depending on DHCP settings you might end up with different output from
running `hostname`. Eg, your local hostname is `mylaptop`, and your
home router is configured with a local domain of `.hoome.arpa`. In
this case:
$ hostname
mylaptop.home.arpa
$ hostname -s
mylaptop
If you then go to cafe which has its router configured with `.lan` as
its local domain. Then, if your DHCP settings accept the local domain
from the router,
$ hostname
myalaptop.lan
$ hostname -s
mylaptop
With the pre-existing behaviour, if you had a
`"me@mylaptop.home.arpa"` entry in `outputs.homeConfigurations`,
running `home-manager switch` would fail:
$ home-manager switch
error: flake 'git+file:///home/me/.config/nixpkgs' does not provide
attribute 'packages.aarch64-darwin.homeConfigurations."me".activationPackage',
'legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.homeConfigurations."me".activationPackage'
or 'homeConfigurations."me".activationPackage'
After this commit, you can put configuration in a `"me@mylaptop"`
entry in `outputs.homeConfigurations`, and everything will work on
either network.
