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.

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`.
With --ignore-fail-on-non-empty, non-emptiness is the only failure
that gets ignored by rmdir. In the case that rmdir reaches $HOME and
considers deleting it, it will detect insufficient permissions and
subsequently exit with an error, even if $HOME is not empty.
Prevent this by calling rmdir with a relative path that excludes
$HOME.
We must only follow the symbolic link once (i.e., not use the `-e`
option) since otherwise the pattern will not match when
`home.file.xyz.source` is a directory.
If the `home-manager` module is enabled then check if the
`home-manager` package is installed using `nix-env -i` and if so then
it is automatically uninstalled before the new package environment,
which includes home-manager, is installed.
This module is a module to install and configure the home-manager
tool. By managing the home-manager tool through the Home Manager
module system it will be installed/updated on configuration
activation.
Problem
-------
We resolve symlinks from inside `/nix/store/HASH-home-manager-files`
into the nix store as `/nix/store/HASH-DRVNAME` which does not match
the pattern.
This happened to me because I pull in some repos in via `home.file`.
The `home-manager-files` derivation links to the repo's derivation in
the nix store. For example:
let nanorcs = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "scopatz";
repo = "nanorc";
…
}; in [
{
target = ".nano";
source = nanorcs;
}
{
target = ".nanorc";
source = "${nanorcs}/nanorc";
}
]
Solution
--------
Call `readlink` without `-e` to obtain only the first redirection from
`~` to `/nix/store/HASH-home-manager-files`.
When a file has disappeared between the previous and the next
generations then its symlink in `$HOME` is typically deleted. With
this commit we refuse to delete the path unless we are reasonably
certain it is a symlink into a Home Manager generation.
This is a module for managing the GNU info directory for the user
profile. See comments at the top of `modules/programs/info.nix` for
further information.
This commit causes an error to be printed if running under a non-Linux
system when a systemd service, target, or timer is active.
It will also prevent running systemd during activation if running
under a non-Linux system.
In the activation script we expect to use the tools provided by GNU
Core Utilities and GNU Bash. This commit therefore explicitly add
these first in the `PATH` environment variable.
This module generates a `.ssh/config` file. This doesn't embed _all_
options for the ssh client, but the most common ones should be there.
Example usage:
```nix
programs.ssh = {
enable = true;
forwardAgent = true;
controlMaster = "auto";
matchBlocks = [
{
host = "something.blah.edu";
port = 1024;
user = "cleague";
identitiesOnly = true;
}
{
host = "host1 host2 host2.net host2.com";
port = 7422;
hostname = "example.com";
serverAliveInterval = 60;
}
{
host = "lucian";
forwardX11 = true;
forwardX11Trusted = true;
checkHostIP = false;
};
};
};
```
Each entry in `programs.ssh.matchBlocks` must contain a `host` field,
which will be used for the block condition.
This should reduce the risk of overwriting an existing file in the
user's home directory. A file will only be replaced if it is a link
pointing to a home-manager tree inside the Nix store.
If an existing file is detected an error is written indicating the
file's path and the activation will terminate before any mutation
occurs.
Fixes#6
Previously the home files were not linked if the generation hadn't
changed. Unfortunately, this would mean that, if a file link was
removed for some reason it would not be recreated by running a switch
command.
For example, with these settings Bash will complain if uninitialized
variables are used. Some code has been improved to run cleanly with
these settings.
Nix does not allow files whose name start with a '.' in the Nix store.
This commit makes a not of this fact in the `home.file.source` option
and also adds an assertion verifying that no such file is given.
Closes#4
If the dconf service hasn't been installed then the configuration
activation will fail. Thus, make sure the activation script is run after
packages have been installed.
If no files should be installed into the home directory then an error
would occur since the directory holding the files would never be
created. With this change the directory is unconditionally created.
This adds a `graphical-session-pre` target for things that need to run
just before the main session starts. Also adds a loop during shutdown
that waits until all deactivating units are gone. Inspired by
